Formatting a picklist in a questionnaire

Updated on May 11, 2022

Format a picklist in a questionnaire to define the choices that users can select to answer a question. With a picklist, users can select only one answer to a question. For example, you can ask users about their rating of customer service in your company, and then provide a choice of answers that range from excellent to poor.

Before you begin: Add a question of the picklist type to your questionnaire. For more information, see Adding a question to a question page.
