Our Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any size limit for files or images?
There's no size limit.
What are the Insights & Limits per response type?
Why do I have to set a survey language?
The language selected for your survey is a hint to ensure accurate transcription of the video response. Once your respondent starts completing their survey, the language that displays around the questions will be localized depending on the languages we support and your respondent's browser setting.
How can I lay out my survey?
We currently support two types of layouts:
All tasks - Allows your respondents to see all questions at the same time. Respondents are able to answer the survey in any order or even skip questions. If there's a redirect option enabled for your survey, the respondent will not be redirected until all tasks have a response.
Single tasks - This allows respondents to only see one task at a time. They won't be able to see or move on to the next task until the previous one is complete.
Can I add optional questions to my survey?
For the moment, there are no mandatory/optional functions. All questions must be completed by the respondent to officially submit the survey as complete.
Is it possible to download Self Captures Survey Responses?
Yes, by clicking on the 3 vertical dots located on the top right of the survey card and clicking on Zip & download responses.
