  • Special Text:

There are several special text options available which user can select according to the survey requirement.


None: By default, this option is selected and user can enter alpha numeric in the answer to the text question.


Telephone: Selecting this option will allow the user to only enter telephone numbers. Moreover, this feature gives the option of different countries in a drop down next to this option, selecting by which automatically sets the input format. If user enters some other format then it gives an alert and doesn't allow the user to proceed while doing the survey. Hence it works like a validation of phone numbers for specific countries as shown in the dropdown adjacent to the Telephone option.

 

Postal Code: Selecting this option will allow the user to only enter the Postal Codes. This option also allows the user to select the specific country from the dropdown adjacent to it. Input format will be selected automatically and will be seen as an example (greyed out) at the time of answering this question. User can also refer the question preview screen to check the same.


Email: It will only allow the interviewee to enter the email address in the valid email format only.


Other: In case the input is not a telephone or email or postal code, this option is chosen. On choosing this, a text box appears where user needs to enter the regex for validating the input field in a specified format.
