Questionnaires in Tasks

Navigation in Unmoderated/Basic Usability Test & Moderated(Structured Interview)

You have a questionnaire with limited options that is found when you scroll below the task.

 

All Other Study types

  • Questionnaires associated with a task are on the Study Builder tab under the task to which they belong.

  • Using questionnaires included in a task (as opposed to preceding or following Questions only tasks) is helpful when you want to randomize. No matter the randomization, these questionnaires remain attached to the task.

Abandon Questionnaire

  • This questionnaire allows you to ask participants why the task was difficult for them.
