Which quiz type can use which question types
Question types are not interchangeable across quiz types — some have no natural "correct answer", others cannot vote for a result type. The left-hand panel only lists the types available to the current quiz type.
| Type | Knowledge Quiz | Scored Quiz | Outcome Quiz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single / Multiple choice / Dropdown / True-False | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Fill-in-the-blank | ✅ can be graded against a correct answer | ✅ collected only, never scored | ❌ |
| Number | ✅ can be graded against a correct answer | ✅ the submitted number feeds formulas | ❌ |
| Cascade / Rating | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Date / Time | ❌ | ✅ collected only | ❌ |
| Ordering | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Statement / Swiper / Page break | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
A Random Knowledge Quiz uses only random questions plus display types; the questions themselves come from the linked question bank.
In a Scored Quiz, a fill-in-the-blank question only collects text: it produces no score and cannot be referenced by a scoring formula. It is the right fit for a closing "anything else we should know?" after the scored questions, so open-ended lead context comes in with the rest.
Each type has its own settings in the right-hand panel — commonly the title and description, required toggle, option content, and validation rules. Types that support scoring can also set points (see Scoring & Assessment Rules).
Random question is typically used with the "Random Knowledge Quiz" type and requires a linked question bank; it may not apply to other types.
Editor Overview
A tour of the three-pane visual editor: pick question types on the left, preview live in the middle, and configure questions, rules and reports on the right — all on a single screen.
Conditional Logic
Conditional logic shows or hides later questions based on earlier answers, turning a fixed questionnaire into an adaptive one. How a rule reads, and why it is Scored Quiz and Outcome only.
