How to Select Multiple Questions?

Selecting multiple questions is available from designer and reports. When working on building your survey, selecting multiple questions will let you mark and move, duplicate or delete all desired questions simultaneously, thus saving you a lot of mouse clicks.

To start selecting multiple questions, simply tick the checkboxes on the left border of each question you want selected. A counter in the top will help you keep track of how many selections that are active:

When selected, you may move the selected questions elsewhere in the Question list by using “drag & drop” and leaving them in your desired order (e.g. here: in the back of list):

To duplicate questions, mark your desired questions and click the duplicate icon duplicate questions from the top of the list. A dialogue bow will open and offer you to position the duplicated questions in two ways:

Say that Question 1., 3. and 6. Is selected:

  • “Placed under each selected item” will postion the duplicated questions after each “original” question consecutively (Here: position 2., 5. and 9.)
  • “Placed under the item you are currently in” will position the questions in the end of the list (Here: postion 6.7. and 9.)

Example: Duplicating the complete list of questions (and “Placed under each selected item”) may also be useful if you want to display the same questions twice in a two column LiveReport, with the distribution on the left side and the average values on the right side:

Tip: You may also use hotkeys to enable selection. “Ctrl + shift” let’s you select all questions from the first to the second question clicked. “Ctrl + click” let’s you select any number of questions in the list, while avoiding selecting ones that you don’t click.
