Understanding and using the Choice element

Written by Kurt Carpels | Sep 16, 2016 4:00:00 AM

The "choice" element enables the app users with a direct preview of a list on their mobile device. This is very useful for surveys, questionnaires and short choice lists. A Choice list may be single, multiple or ranked.

For example: being the owner of a cinema, you want to improve your establishment in order to better respond to the expectations of your customers and so you conduct a survey. You want to know among other things the gender of your customers, propose possible improvements with a list and know the favourite film genres of your customers.

In the back office.

  • Go to the platform kizeoforms.com in Modify or Create a form.
  • Click on the Choice
  • To access its features, go to the Options of the element by clicking on the pencil.

At first glance, the  Choice element works as a List.

Single entry choice list.

In our example, we want to know the gender of the customer.

  • Name it, select Presentation from the drop-down list: Single list and add the items that you want to appear.
 

To incorporate icons:

  • Go to this website, choose your icons and insert them.
  • Click on the desired icon and note the code corresponding to the icon. This code always starts with “fa-”.
  • Fill in the “Icons” field with the desired icon codes in the same order as the list elements returned earlier.
 
  • Do not forget to click Confirm.

Multiple entry choice list.

In our example, we propose various possible improvements for our cinema: themed film night, subtitled films, restaurant dining/cinema, premiere with actors or directors.

  • In the options of the Choice element, select Presentation from the drop-down list: Multiple selection list. Once the entry is complete, confirm.
 

A raked choice list

To complete our example, this time we want to know the preferences of our customers regarding film genres: Action, animation, comedy, documentary, drama, horror, science fiction and thrillers.

  • In the options of the Choice element, select Presentation from the drop-down list: Ranking.
 
  • Once the entry is complete, confirm.

On your mobile device.

See the appearance of the Choice element below on a mobile device. The eraser to the right of the table is used to clear responses from the list. Different displays allow you more freedom in the choice of responses.
