Add a date picker question to the survey.
When to use
We add a date picker question whenever we need respondents to select a date.
Instructions
Add a Date Picker Question
- Click Add New.
- Click Date.
- Type the question.
- Click the three dots.
- Click Subtitle.
- Add a subtitle.
Preview the Form
- Click the Preview button.
Hints & tips
- The format for date fields is dd/mm/yyyy. This cannot be modified.
- 00:04 Sometimes it can be useful to find out when something occurred.
- 00:08 For example, maybe I'd like to know from my customers what the date was when
- 00:13 they last purchased a candle.
- 00:15 And for this, we can use the date picker question type.
- 00:19 So if we scroll down, let's click on Date, we can now add our question.
- 00:24 And once again, we have the option to add an image.
- 00:27 I'm not going to, but notice the answer requires them to input a date.
- 00:32 This question isn't required.
- 00:34 If we click the three dots, we can add a subtitle or we can add branching.
- 00:39 So this time, I am going to add a subtitle because a lot of
- 00:42 people can't remember exactly the date when they purchased.
- 00:46 So I'll just let them know that it can be a rough estimate.
- 00:49 Now let's preview the form so we can see what the customer sees.
- 00:52 I'm going to click on preview.
- 00:54 And if we scroll all the way down to this question,
- 00:57 when they click in the input field, they're going to get a date picker.
- 01:01 And they can scroll through the different dates.
- 01:03 So if it was maybe a couple of months ago,
- 01:06 we can go to the previous month and we can select a date from there.
- 01:11 And when we look at this on mobile, that's what it looks like.
- 01:15 So really simple to add a date picker question into the survey.
