Add a question grid

A custom grid is a section you can add in a form that can be used as a normal table or as a question grid. The custom grid allows you to automatically repeat questions.

The repeatable custom grid is most helpful when used with a scale question. Other question types are also supported.

Add a table

1. Navigate to Form - Main page, and place the cursor where you want to insert the element.
2. Select the grid icon () from the Structure toolbar, and use the grid box to define the grid size.
3. Modify the display properties at your discretion under Custom grid - Display.
   
4. Set grid properties in Custom grid - Settings
   1. Grid name - Enter a name for the table or bind an existing name to it (required).
   2. Description - Enter a description illustrating the purpose of the table.
   3. Randomize rows - Enable or disable randomizing the order in which questions appear.
   4. Show header or Show footer - Display the header or footer of the table.
   5. Repeat column elements - Enable this feature to make questions repeat in the table.
   6. Responsive - Allow the grid to be responsive based on the size of the device screen.
   7. Allow respondent to repeat last row - Allow respondents to add more rows at the bottom of the table, which will copy the previous row content.
      
5. Fill out the custom grid with your content.

Add a custom grid that repeats questions automatically

1. Navigate to Form - Main page, and place the cursor where you want to insert the element.
2. Select the grid icon () from the Structure toolbar, and use the grid box to define the grid size.
3. Custom grid - Settings - Enable or disable Repeat column elements to start or stop the grid from repeating content automatically.
   
4. Fill in the table with your content.

Add questions to a custom grid

By default, the added questions will be repeated in each row unless you disable the repeatable question function. However, table-formed questions (i.e. constant sum and ranking questions) cannot be added into a custom grid.

You can also add text, media or variables to cells. However, text and media added to a custom grid will not be repeated.

You can edit a question inside the custom grid. To do so, select the question to open the Edit question panel. Changes made to a question will affect every duplicate of this question in that column.

Customize the look of your custom grid

Use the properties in the Display section to change how your table looks.

1. Go to Custom grid - Display.
2. Width (%) - Adjust the table width. You can also select and drag the vertical borders inside the table to change the width of individual columns.
3. Borders - Define the borders of the table (default is all borders).
