Custom Question Layout | XM Community
Skip to main content

I need to program a questionnaire with the below layout, where a respondent can select one answer per row (as they are opposing statements)
Question.pngDo I need to use custom programming? If yes, will a standard license that costs $30/month allow me to do that? 
Thanks,
Sam

To do exactly what you are showing, you would need custom programming. I think you'd have to talk to a Qualtrics rep to confirm if that is available with your license.
That said, you might want to look at a Bipolar Matrix scale, which is CLOSE to what you are describing (has the same functionality with a different look and feel):

Thanks, Carol. I don't have a rep as I am using a free license. I can upgrade to a standard license, but I wanted to make sure it's possible before I pay for an upgrade.
I contacted support and they pointed me to the community 😉
I tried using Bi-polar, and it's my backup option as I need to use answer labels - they crowd to center, and I am worried it might confuse my respondents. 
Thanks Again.


Gotcha. You could use labels like these:

Or maybe someone here will have some thoughts on how to apply JS for what you hope to accomplish. Good luck!


Thanks again. That is a cool idea. I can try those labels options and also explore setting width.
