Question numbering

You can build questions within your activity and choose how you would like these questions to be numbered.

To access the settings for this, select Design and build from the activity's navigation bar, then from the dropdown select Build activity. This will open up more menu options, head to Page and question settings and on the right hand side you will see Question numbering as the first option shown.

Select the type of numbering that is most appropriate for your activity.

Numbering options:

• Continuous numbering: set as the default option. This is useful for linear activities, which run from start to finish in continuous pages.
• Restart numbering on each page: this option is useful for non-linear (also known as table of contents) activities and also for linear activities that use Skip Logic. Restarting the numbering on each page makes it less confusing for respondents who will not see all the pages nor answer all the questions.
• Custom numbering: is useful when you are consulting on something such as a policy document and you need to reflect the numbering within the policy, i.e. 2.1(a) and 2.1(b).
• Don't show numbering: can be used if your online survey is less formal and more of an information gathering exercise. Be mindful that not having numbers on questions can make it difficult for admins to refer to - if you have a very large activity you may want to have some form of reference when discussing the different questions with colleagues.
