What is a Custom Column?
A custom column in the responses screen table allows you to add and display additional information that isn't directly collected by the survey itself, for your convenience as the survey creator. This added information helps you track and manage responses more effectively, and critically, it will also be included when you export the table data.
Steps to create and edit a custom column
1. Go to the Responses screen and click on the Add Custom Columns button to open the Manage Custom Columns popup.
2. In the Manage Custom Columns popup add the column header. In this popup, you can also create the column as a dropdown field for editing by adding options, and as a simple text field. Click Save to create custom columns.
3. Click the custom column cell in the table. Add your specific additional information directly for quick reference
4. Edit custom columns directly within Individual Responses to update additional information (like 'Feedback' or ‘Sentiments’), ensuring precise tracking and efficient management.
In short, custom columns give you the power to add vital extra information to your survey data. This means easier tracking and management, giving you a full picture of your responses both on screen and in your exports. Start using custom columns to make your survey data work harder for you.
