Important information
- 10 minutes is the maximum length of a questionnaire permitted on the platform. Once the survey reaches 7 minutes no more questions can be added. This is to ensure mobile compatibility, that respondents have a positive experience and to guarantee sample completion.
- 5 megabytes is the maximum file limit for any pictures/images uploaded to the survey. Formats allowed are: PNG, JPG.
- 50 megabytes is the maximum file limit for any video uploaded to the survey. Formats allowed: MP4, AVI.
- If you need to apply some exclusions to questions or to filter respondents, then you need to apply them using the ‘logic’ function to all of the relevant questions.
- Logic can only be copied when you duplicate the previous question but if you need a new question format then the logic can not be copied from question to question it has to be manually added.
- Be aware that each question will provide an estimate of required completion time and this will vary depending on the time of the question and the number of options included.
- There is a limit of 15 answers for each question, so think carefully about the possible responses respondents can give and the purpose of each question.
