How you can ask questions in forms and surveys with LeadGen App

Choosing the right question type makes all the difference in forms and influences the user experience and how many responses you collect. To help you ask any kind of question, LeadGen App provides you with various question types. Here is an overview of the question types and examples of how you can use these in your forms:

Short text questions help you collect individual text answers from users. You can ask any question with short text question types which can be answered in a short 1-line answer. 

Examples:
1. Who is your favourite NFL player?
2. What is the name of your school?
3. What is your favourite country?

Paragraph Text

Paragraph questions provide space for longer answers, covering several lines of text. They can be used to collect any kind of messages, e.g. in contact forms or as a description text of goals, needs and requests.

Examples:
1. What is your message?
2. Please describe the type of pain you have.
3. What can we do better with the service?

Single-select question types show choices out of which one choice can be selected. You can align choice buttons horizontally or vertically and choose from different skin types, like radio or dropdown which are explained below.

Examples:
1. What service are you interested in?
2. What is your goal?
3. What is your company size?

Multi-select questions are identical to single-select question types with the difference that multi-select questions allow selection of more than one choice. In LeadGen App you can optionally define a minimum and maximum amount of allowed selections, e.g. minimum 1 and maximum of 3 choices.

Examples:
1. Please select all the choices that apply to you.
2. Which of these symptoms do you experience frequently?
3. Please select all the ways you wish to be contacted.

Radio buttons are a sub-type of single-select question types which are clickable choices. Because of the style of radio buttons showing a distinct choice selection they are only provided in single-select, not in multi-select questions. 

Examples:
1.  What day would you like to visit us?
2.  What service are you interested in?
3. How would rate the service quality from 1-5?

Checkbox buttons are a sub-type of multi-select question types to allow users to tick all the applicable choices.

Examples:
1.  Please tick all the days you are available for the interview?
2.  What industries are you active in?
3.  What solutions are you interested in?

Dropdown questions have the benefit of showing a large selection of clickable choices in a user-friendly way. The choices are hidden until the user navigates to the question and clicks on the selector to load up the dropdown answers. In LeadGen App dropdown is available in both single-select and multi-select question types. 

Examples:
1.  What provider are you insured with?
2.  What is your highest academic degree?
3.  In which location would you like to visit us?

Image buttons are a very flexible way to ask questions. Upload any JPEG or PNG file to your choices to make your form and questions stand out. Visual image buttons can aligned in different formats, e.g. showing 2, 3 or 4 rows per question.  

Examples:
1.  What country would you like to study in?
2.  What service are you interested in?
3.  What is the objective of your new website?

Icon buttons are clickable choices that show icons along with answer title and description text. The icons can be selected from a comprehensive icon library that is provided in LeadGen App. You can search by icon type and choose from various designs to add a more visual touch to your questions.

Examples:
1.  What country would you like to study in?
2.  What service are you interested in?
3.  What is the objective of your new website?
