Now, click on the Untitled Question field to add your first question. This is where you will set up your Checkbox Grid.

Click on the dropdown arrow to dropdown menu where it defaults to “Multiple choice”.

Select ‘Checkbox grid’ from the list of options. This changes the format of your question to a grid layout where multiple responses can be selected per row.

Enter Row Labels: These are the items or questions that respondents will evaluate. Click on the “Row 1” field to start adding your items/questions.

Enter Column Labels: These represent the possible choices for each row item. Click on “Column 1” box to add options.

Ensure each label is clear and concise for the best respondent understanding.

If you need responses in every row to ensure complete data collection, check the box labeled “Require a response in each row”.

If applicable, click on three dots in the bottom right corner and Shuffle Rows.

Select the “Shuffle row order” to randomize the order of rows for each respondent, which can help in reducing bias.
