Are you looking to set up your question to allow respondents to select multiple answers?
The checkbox question type is the best option for this scenario. It will allow your survey respondents to select multiple answers from a list. Learn more about the checkbox question type!
If you are looking to allow multiple answers per row in a table, use the Checkbox Grid Question Type.
Allow Multiple Open-Text Answers
If you are looking to collect multiple open-ended answers there are several options available to meet your needs:
Textbox List
A Textbox List question is a list of short-answer, open-text fields with labels for each row.
Textbox Grid
The Textbox Grid question allows respondents to enter short answers to multiple questions in a table format.
Custom Group
The Custom Group question type allows you to group questions of different types together under one parent question.

@Roely: Thank you so much for reaching out to SurveyGizmo Help.
One can make answer options exclusive if you are using the Checkbox question type. Check out the documentation below for more information on using this setting:

I hope this helps clarify!

How can i exclude the "non of the above" answer in the list of answers (multi). So you can not choose one of the above and the last answer "on of the above."

@Surabhi: Thank you so much for your question!
The radio button question type is designed to allow one answer option per response. One would need to use the Check box question to accept responses with multiple answer options. I suggest looking into changing the icons via the documentation below:
https://help.surveygizmo.com/help/icons#change-checkbox-icons-to-use-circle-icons
We do have the ability to use custom scripting here, and specifically using the documentation above one can change the icons to be circles so they look like radio buttons! This is a simple process if you have access to a programmer or have scripting knowledge yourself!
I hope this helps!

Hi, is it possible to set a maximum that can be chosen? (e.g. I have 10 options and I want people to select two options) is that possible as well?

Hi there,
I was wondering if you are able to select more than one option in a multi - choice question?

@Paula: We do not have an option to see the order that checkboxes are selected. I don't know exactly what you are trying to achieve, but I wonder if maybe something like a ranking question would work for you? There are 2 ranking style questions:

I hope this helps!

For compatible questions, this option will be available via the Validation tab under the setting titled, 'Limit answers to'. More information can be found here:

@Australian: The data multiple questions cannot be easily combined to report as one word cloud I'm sorry to say.
You could export the data and combine it in one column and then use the data import tool to import to a single field to achieve this.
Here is our tutorial on the Data Import tool:

We have a question with five textboxes. Now we want to combine the textboxes to display one word cloud. Is this possible?
