3 steps · About 4 minutes

1. Open Questions and select New question

   Your eventSet upQuestions

2. Enter The question or label and pick its Type

   Short answer, long answer, yes or no, pick one, pick any, checkbox, date, number or phone number. Each says what it is for beside its name. Pick one and Pick any also take Choices, one per line. File upload joins the list once your account has file storage set up.

   We read the type off your wording Open the question with "Do you" and the type becomes yes or no, "When" makes it a date, and "how many" makes it a number. Picking a type yourself stops the reading for good.

   Start typing and we may suggest the question We keep eleven questions ready to use, among them dietary requirements, access requirements, pronouns and a code of conduct. Picking one fills in the question and its type, and offers its Suggested choices, translated into every language we offer.

   Yes or no, or a checkbox? Pick yes or no for a question where "no" is a real answer you want back. Pick a checkbox for one thing to agree to, like terms. A checkbox only records that it was ticked, so an unticked one tells you nothing.

   An optional Description shows under the question wherever it's answered.

3. Select Save question

   The Export name is made from the question. It's the column heading in a CSV export, and it appears once your question has words. Select Change on that row to write your own. It's fixed once the question is saved, so answers already collected keep their meaning.

   The question isn't asked anywhere yet.

   It starts collecting answers once you attach it. See Choose who answers a question.

   You can start from a ticket type instead. Select Add a question and then Write a new question at the foot of the picker. It takes the wording, type and choices, and puts the question on that ticket as it creates it.

   Coming from Customize, the form says which ticket it means. It gains a row naming the ticket you came from, with a switch for whether the question must be answered there. That switch is about this ticket only. If you go on to ask the same question somewhere else, it starts optional there.

   Anything you fill in yourself lives somewhere else.

   A seat number you put on somebody's ticket, a note only your team reads, a Wi-Fi password for the whole event: all of that is metadata, at Settings → Metadata. See Keep metadata about an event and its attendees.
