Exclusive Option Validation for Multiple Choice Questions - How to?

How can I make a response option exclusive?

In some cases, in a multiple choice question (Check All that Apply) -- an exclusive option ("I dont know" or "None of the Above") may be presented. In such cases you can mark those options as "Exclusive" options. This will enable the engine to validate if the respondent chooses that option - NO OTHER OPTION can be selected.

  • To set this up click on the Settings link for the Question

  • Also make sure that Validation is enabled and Save the changes.

On the survey if respondents select the None of the above option, they will not be able to select any of the other options.
