Question types
Statement
A screen with text and no answer, for introductions, section breaks and instructions partway through a form.
A statement shows a title, an optional description and a button, and asks nothing. Use it to introduce a new section ("Now a few questions about your team"), give instructions before a tricky question, or say what's about to be signed.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Button label | The button that moves on. "Continue" if you leave it blank. |
A statement can carry a picture or video like any question, and can recall answers in its title and description.
What respondents see
The text and the button. Pressing Enter moves on as well.
A statement counts as a step in the progress bar and the 02 / 06 counter, but it doesn't say "Question 2 of 6", since it isn't a question.
On a form with All questions on one page, a statement is a heading between questions, with no button: a good way to split a long page into sections.
The answer
There isn't one: statements store nothing, and don't appear in responses, exports or Insights.
In logic
A statement can't be the subject of a condition, but it can have rules of its own, which is a tidy way to add a jump that doesn't depend on any one question. It can also be the destination of a jump.
Statement or welcome screen?
For the first screen of a form, use the welcome screen instead. It isn't a step, so people who only read it aren't counted as having started, and it can show how long the form takes.
