Question editor |

The question editor let us setup the configuration and constraints of our question.
If we want to add answers to the question we will need to use the Answer Editor after having created our question.
Question Options
- Selection Mode is the mode in which Selection Answer Types will be rendered by the FeedbackServer engine.
The radio button mode will show Selection Answer Types inside the question as radio buttons. The respondent can select only one answer in this mode.

The check box mode will show Selection Answer Types inside the question as check boxes. The respondent can select multiple answers in this mode.

The drop down list mode will group and show Selection Answer Types inside a drop down list. The respondent can select only one answer in this mode.

- Edition language lets us select in which mode we are editing the question texts. This feature is only available if we have turned on FeedbackServer's Multi-Language features.
- Exclude Answer let us define which answer within the question will act as "none of the other" answer. The answer defined will, when running the survey, uncheck all other checked answers of the question when its checked by the respondent and wont allow any other selection on the question answers.
