I want to use the same question several times in my survey. How can I speed up the creation of my survey?

Overview

This article explains how to efficiently create surveys by using depot questions.

Information

If you want to use a question multiple times in your questionnaire, you can define a so called depot question. During survey creation, you can then place the depot question on all respective pages. 

Later on, it is not necessary to edit each of the questions individually if you have to change these frequently recurring questions.

1. Step 1: Switch to the Questionnaire editor and click on the "Container depot" menu item. 
2. Click on "+ New question" and enter a question title. 
3. Select the question type that you planned to use repeatedly in your questionnaire. 
4. Confirm by clicking "Save" 
5. Edit your question by adding the question text and answer options 
6. Confirm by clicking "Save"

Note: Please note that changes to the depot question affect all other reference questions.

FAQ

Can I edit a depot question after I've used it in my survey?

Yes, you can edit a depot question at any time. However, keep in mind that changes to the depot question will affect all instances where it's used in your survey.

Are there any limitations to using depot questions?

While depot questions are very useful for consistency and efficiency, it's important to use them judiciously. Make sure that the question truly needs to be repeated and that the same wording and answer options are appropriate for all instances where it's used.
