Calendar question

Calendar question is used to enable users to select a date from a calendar layout. For example, you can use a calendar question to ask respondents to enter the date of birth/wedding anniversary.

• Go to: Login » Surveys (select a survey) » Edit » Workspace
• Click on the Add Question button.
• Under Basic Question Types » Basic Matrix, click on Calendar Question.


The calendar question will appear on your survey.



• Validation: By default, the validation option is turned off. Respondents can skip and move ahead in the survey without answering the question. You can enable validation if you don't want to allow respondents to skip this question. By clicking on the validation option you can see a window with options - Force Response and Request Response.

  Force response option makes a question mandatory/required, as shown in the above image. The respondents cannot finish the survey without answering a mandatory question. For the calendar question, additional validation options appear when you select force response. These options allow you to restrict respondents from selecting a date other than the dates that you specify. Click here to know more details.

  When you select Request Response, the respondent gets a pop-up in case a question is not answered, requesting to answer the question or continue the survey without answering.

You can customize the date and time question as per your requirements. On the date and time question, click on Settings. Here, you will see the following options to customize date and time question:

• Default to today's date: You can switch on the toggle to set the default date as "today" i.e., the current date.
• Select date format: You can set the date format from the formats available in the drop-down.
