Matrix Question
Matrix Question
Matrix questions, also known as table questions or array questions, are presented in a table format after setting row and column options. They typically consist of rows (question items) and columns (options), consolidating multiple questions into a single table. This saves space on the questionnaire page, provides a clear structure, enhances readability, and makes it easier for respondents to understand and answer. All question items share the same options, reducing the length of the questionnaire and improving response efficiency, while ensuring consistent answer formats for easier data organization and analysis.
When answering, matrix questions will be displayed in a two-dimensional matrix format on wide-screen devices. The system will determine the screen width of the device and present the questions in a hierarchical list format on narrow-screen devices. Alternatively, the display mode can be specified in the layout panel, so that regardless of the screen width, the system will display the matrix questions in the set format.
