Topic: Reusable Choices

 

When creating a survey with similar answer choices, duplicating the question or copying and pasting the choices can quickly become inefficient and redundant. Reusable choices allow you to save a list of choices in your survey that you can reuse in more than one question. Through this functionality, you can make changes to the Reusable Choices that will be applied wherever the Reusable Choices exist in your survey project. Also, this feature allows you to import, manually create, format, recode, and/or hide these choices.
 

Where to find this feature:

  1. Navigate to the Survey tab and click Tools.
  2. Select Manage reusable choices.

Question of the Day: Have you copied and pasted your answer choices before? Have you ever used reusable choices?

Yes, I copied and pasted the answer choices, and I typically use the techniques listed below:
-I copied them into the option box directly.
-I press the Number of statements (Edit Multiple) pop - up window and simply copy and paste my data there.

"Reusable Choice" feature becomes a blessing for me in extensive surveys where I run into scenarios where I have to repeat myself since it saves so much time, especially in surveys with a long list of brands.

Thanks for posting this. Haven't used this feature often, but when it's relevant it is super convenient. Will have to keep it top of mind!
