Enhance Data Collection with the New Other Option in Forms and Surveys

Enhance Your Data Collection with the New "Other" Option in Forms & Surveys

We're thrilled to introduce a new feature designed to give users more freedom and flexibility when filling out forms and surveys— the "Other" option!

More Flexibility, Better Insights

The "Other" option lets respondents provide a custom answer, enhancing their ability to express nuanced opinions or thoughts. This ensures your data is not only richer but also more personalized. With this feature, respondents have the flexibility to select "Other" and type a response tailored to their specific input.

Improve Your Data Insights

Capturing custom responses will lead to better insights. All custom responses are automatically stored with standard submissions, allowing you to see a more complete picture of your data.

Effortless Tracking

These custom responses are displayed alongside standard answers in your reports. This feature is seamlessly integrated, so your data analysis can continue without a hitch.

How to Use the "Other" Option

  1. Open Your Form or Survey: Begin by editing your existing form or survey.
  2. Add the “Other” Option: Click the “Add 'Other' option” button next to your multiple-choice field.
  3. Save Your Form: Confirm your changes and save.
  4. Collect Responses: Respondents will see and can select “Other” to type in their own response when filling out the form.

Key Points to Note

  • This feature works seamlessly with both checkboxes and radio button fields.
  • Custom responses will appear in the submissions tab just like the regular options.
  • The update is now live—enhance your forms and surveys with this new flexibility today!
