Additional Information: Setting a Limit of How Many
There is a feature that allows multiple choice questions to limit "how many" choices a
respondent can answer.
When creating a Multiple Choice, Matrix/Rating, or Open-Ended (Multiple Answers
Allowed) type question, set the Require Answer feature to where the respondent must
answer according to any of the following options:
♦ All
♦ At least
♦ At most
♦ Exactly
♦ Range
If a limit is applied, edit the error message so it corresponds to how the feature
has been configured. Then respondents will know what is expected of the
answer.
EXAMPLE: If you have a list of 10 items and you restrict the limit to "exactly" "3"
answer choices can be selected, we recommend editing the error message to be
something like:
"You have picked more than the allotted answer choice limit. Please restrict your
response to 3 choices."
