Program Pages

Page Title and Description

Every program can have pages and questions within.

You can add a page title and a description of the questions added to the page.

A survey's page title briefly describes its content at the top of each page, providing structure and clarity to respondents. A page description can also be added to give more context or instructions for answering questions accurately. This helps respondents understand the purpose of the questions and how to approach them.

Dropthought allows you to enter a page description with up to 2000 characters.

Check out Dropthought’s metadata tags for page titles. It helps your respondents to remember what the feedback is being collected about by adding metadata tags from a list or sub-ink list or dynamic collector.

Add new page

You can add any number of pages within a program. A new page can be added at the end of a page or between two pages.

For the same, scroll to the end of the page and click on Add new page. You can then reorder the pages as needed.

Re-ordering pages

Action Items

Translations: You can translate your program based on your respondents.

Preview: The eye icon indicates the preview feature. Before you publish a program, previewing it while you are creating it is always a good idea. This lets you better understand how the program will appear to your respondents.

Customize: On the Questions page, you can select this icon to change the program's style and feel.

Skip Logic: Using this feature, you can create branches between the pages in your program so that only relevant questions and pages are displayed to program respondents. This feature allows you to transform your program into an intelligent program.
