Definition
A Free Text question allows your visitors to provide an open-ended response, and is a valuable tool for collecting feedback, opinions, or suggestions. This type of question can be used in both the 'Assessment/Test' and 'Survey' module, but it's important to be aware that due to being open-ended, it cannot be scored like Multiple Choice or True/False questions.
Two types of Free Text questions are available:
-
Free Text Long (500 characters).
-
Free Text Short (200 characters).
