Each prompt requires a response type that determines how participants answer the question. There are 5 types available.
Configure Prompt dialog with response type selector set to Text

Yes/No

Type valueyesno
UITwo radio buttons: “Yes” and “No”
Best forBinary screening, daily check-ins, habit tracking
Example: “Did you exercise today?” → Yes / No

Text

Type valuetext
UIFree-form text input field

Type valuenumber
UINumeric input field
Best forCounts, measurements, single numeric ratings

Number Range

Type valuenumberRange
UINumeric input with configurable min/max bounds
Best forLikert scales, pain scales, mood ratings, bounded measurements
Defaultsmin = 0, max = 10
Example: “Rate your stress level (1–10):” → 7

Configuring the Range

  • Min — the lowest value participants can enter (default: 0)
  • Max — the highest value participants can enter (default: 10)
  • Validation: min must be less than max
Use Number Range instead of plain Number when you want to constrain participant responses to a bounded scale (e.g., 1–5 Likert, 0–100 VAS).

Custom Options

Type valuecustomOptions
UIRadio buttons (single select) or checkboxes (multi-select)
Best forCategorical data, multiple choice, forced-choice paradigms
Example: “How would you describe your sleep quality?” → Poor; Fair; Good; Excellent

Configuring Custom Options

  1. Enter options as a semicolon-separated list — e.g., Poor;Fair;Good;Excellent
  2. “Allow multiple responses” toggle:
    • ON (single only = true) → participants pick one option (radio buttons)
    • OFF (single only = false) → participants can pick multiple options (checkboxes)
Options are separated by semicolons (;) in prompts. This is different from onboarding questions, which use commas.
