About This Feature

Overview

Single Selection is used in Smart Forms survey scenarios to create a question where respondents can choose only one answer. It fits voting, opinion collection, and basic information gathering. After creating the question, you can continue editing the options, preview the result, and save it to the form.

Core tasks include:

Open the Single Selection entry: go to the survey module in the form editor and locate the single-answer question type.
Edit and confirm the question: set the question content, review the display, and save the result.
Update an existing single-answer question: reopen the question later, revise it, and save the changes.
