07 Helper Text

What Is It?

Helper Text appears as an instruction below the Question Text and above the answer code frame or input box.

How Do I Use This?

You may enter your own text into the Helper Text field in the Quick Update box or Properties Tab, or you may choose one of the following pre-formatted options by double-clicking on the appropriate instruction from the drop down list:

Question Type	Helper Text
Single	Please select ONE only
Multi	Please select ALL that apply
Verbatim	Please type in your responses below
Verbatims	Please type in your responses below
Grid	Please select one answer per statement

The Rich Text Editor can be used to format the appearance of the Helper Text e.g. bolding, italics, font, font colour, etc. Alternatively, html tags may be entered directly into the source code editor.

Helper Text may also be used to display labels above the answer codes. For example, Helper Text can be specified to display anchor labels above a rating scale, as shown below.
