Add a grid-style survey to your forms

When you are creating surveys, it is sometimes nice to create a grid of radio buttons to allow your visitors to rate items based on a scale. Each column of the grid represents a scale, and each row something that you want your visitors to rate. A somewhat silly example is shown below:

It is very easy to create this kind of survey grid:

1: Define the question and the headings

Add a Form Item as usual, and choose the following settings:

• Choose an Input Type of Radio Button Grid Heading.
• Enter a verbose question in the Label field. The question will be displayed like a form section heading that takes up the full width of the form. It's therefore a good idea to enter a couple of lines of text.
• Enter your required column headings into the item's Parameters field, separated by semicolons.

So for the form above, you would enter:

2: Define your rows

For each row of your grid, add a Form Item with the following settings:

• Choose an input type of Radio Button Grid Row
• Add the title of the row as the item's Label

So for the form above, you would enter something like this:

That's all there is to it.

Continuing the form

The grid represents itself on the page as a form section. If you want to add more, normal, questions to your form, it will look the best if you continue the form with a Form Item with a type of Section Header. This will keep your form looking its best, and will keep the questions nicely spaced.
