Example of a Calendar Element
Settings
- Enter the element Label; this is displayed to the respondent on the survey.
- [A] Use piped text to insert custom/dynamic content into a question label.
- Choose the Format you would like to use for the date.
- In the Advanced Options, you can:
- Uncheck Required if the element is optional; when this setting is not checked the question will be labelled as Optional on the survey. The Required setting will be turned on, by default.
- Toggle Restrict Date Selection on to set a specific or calculated allowable date range for the responses to the question. The setting can be based on specific calendar dates or +/- calculations based on the date the respondent is answering the survey.
- Set the element to Hide from reporting; when this setting is applied, only users with View Hidden Fields access will be able to view the data that is collected.
- Check Set as submission date if you would like to designate the date entered in this field to be used as the record date in reports. IMPORTANT! Never set more than one calendar question as the submission date on a form.
- Insert help text, which is displayed below the question label, and can be used to provide additional instructions or clarification.
- Change the Element Span (i.e. width of the element) on your form. Be sure to consider how respondents will be viewing the survey, and how modified spans might impact the layout of the elements on different devices.
- Add JavaScript to trigger a behavior or validation on the form, based on certain events tied to the survey or a question.
- Check the Create Another checkbox if you would like to add another element of this type after you save the one you are creating; it will be positioned immediately after the element you've just added.
Click on Save when you have configured the settings for the element.
