Matrix Grid Question Type

Get more data with the enhanced matrix grid question type

While drafting a survey, keeping it short, crisp and relevant increases response rates. With question types like the matrix grid, rank order, drag & drop, it is possible to collect more information from your respondents without making the survey long and packed with questions.

• Select more than one option from the given choices
