Question Types & Advanced Settings

Eventene provides a variety of question types to help you collect structured information from participants. This article explains the available question types and how to configure them.

Available Question Types

When creating a question, you can choose from the following types:

• Multiple Choice – select from a list of options
• Text – single-line text input
• Comment – multi-line text input
• Number – numeric input
• Yes / No – binary choice
• True / False – binary choice
• Email – validated email format
• Phone – phone number input
• Address – structured address fields
• Date / Time – date and/or time selection
• Information Only – display text without collecting a response

Each type is designed for a specific kind of data collection. Choose the type that best matches the information you need.

Multiple Choice Options

Multiple choice questions support several configurations:

• Single selection – participants choose one option
• Multiple selection – participants can choose more than one option
• Ranked selection – participants rank their choices in order

When using multiple choice:

• Enter clear, concise options
• Limit the number of choices to avoid overwhelming participants
• Use ranking only when prioritization is important

Number Input Settings

Number questions can be configured to accept:

• Whole numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3)
• Decimal values (e.g. 1.5, 2.75)

Use numeric validation when collecting quantities, counts, or measurements.

Date and Time Settings

Date and time questions allow you to control what participants provide:

• Date only
• Time only
• Both date and time

Choose the level of detail based on your needs.

Required Questions

Each question can be marked as required.

• Required questions must be answered before participants can complete their responses
• Optional questions can be skipped

Use required questions sparingly to avoid friction during registration.

Internal Name vs Display Text

Each question includes:

• Internal name – used for reporting and data tracking
• Display text – shown to participants

Use clear and consistent naming for internal fields to make reporting easier later.

Attendance-Based Question Logic

Questions can be shown based on a participant’s attendance status.

• Ask certain questions only if attending
• Ask different questions if not attending

This allows you to tailor the experience and collect more relevant information.

Best Practices

• Keep questions focused and easy to answer
• Avoid collecting unnecessary information
• Use consistent naming conventions
• Test your questions before publishing your program
