How to Add a Question to a Survey

You can access this feature from your MSL website. Only Content Editors with access to Survey Admin and Organisation Admins with permissions to edit surveys can access the Questions window.


If the selected Question Type is Dropdown List, Radio Button List, Checkbox List, Slider, Radio Button List (Horizontal) or Checkbox List (Horizontal), the ability to add options will only appear once the question has been saved.
