You can format the fields that prompt users to answer a question in a survey. By choosing a format that is specific to the type of question and the expected response, you can ensure that the information that you collect in your survey is complete.
For example, you can ask users to select a policy plan from a list of predefined choices or manually enter a policy number in a text box. You choose a format when you create a stand-alone question or add a question to a survey.
The following table lists the answer formats that each type of question supports.
| Format | Simple question | Complex question | Supports scoring |
