Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: What is the difference between a matrix question and a regular question?

• Solution: A matrix question groups multiple questions into a single, larger question by bundling them as sub-questions. This design offers a more visually appealing layout and is ideal for organizing personal information, exam sections, or other scenarios where related questions need to appear as a unified unit.

Question 2: Can different question types be used for sub-questions within a matrix?

• Solution: Yes. Each sub-question in a matrix can independently use different question types—for example, using a fill-in-the-blank for name, a numeric input for age, and a single-choice for gender.

Question 3: In what scenarios are matrix questions suitable?

• Solution: Matrix questions are commonly used in situations requiring grouped data collection, such as gathering personal information, designing exams, or creating evaluation forms—any context where multiple related questions should be presented together cohesively.

Notes

• Matrix questions bundle related items for a cleaner, more organized display.
• Each sub-question supports independent configuration of question type and required field settings.
