What is the difference between a Do-Answer-Check (DAC) on question level or item level?

Overview

This article explains the difference between a Do-Answer-Check (DAC) on question level and item level in survey design.

Information

If the DAC (Do-Answer-Check -> mandatory question) is set for the entire question, the system only checks whether one answer option has been answered.

The DAC on the item level, on the other hand, means that an answer must be given to every answer item that has been enabled for DAC.

FAQ

What happens if I set DAC on question level?

When DAC is set on question level, respondents are required to answer at least one item within the question, but not necessarily all items.

How does DAC on item level affect survey responses?

DAC on item level requires respondents to provide an answer for every item that has been enabled for DAC within the question, ensuring more complete responses.
