If you want to record a respondent's signature in a survey, you can use the signature question on Collect. It allows people to sign on the screen of their mobile devices. In this article, we will discuss:
- How to create a signature question on Collect web
- How to answer a signature question on Collect app
A. Creating a Signature Question
A signature question has multiple elements like question title, question keyword and description. To understand them better, we will take a sample choice question and create it on Collect.
Example: In an classroom audit, we want to record teacher's signatures for the audit of every class. For this, we will add a signature question in the survey. It will look like the image below.
To create this question on the Collect web dashboard, we will add the following details:
- Question Title: "Please add your signature below:"
- Mandatory Question: Yes (Check-marked)
- Question Keyword: "sign"
- Description : "Scribble on the screen."
B. Answering a Signature Question
When you open this question on the Collect app, it will look like the image below. To answer the question:
Step 1. Go to the signature question and tap on it. A screen will pop up where you can draw.
Step 2. Scribble your signature on the screen.
Step 3. If you have answered all other questions, click on "Submit" to submit the complete response.
Note:
In addition to signature question, Collect supports 25+ other question types like image, location, signature, etc. You can read more about them in this detailed guide.
