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 | ❌ | ✅ the value can feed formulas | ❌ |
| Ordering | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Rich Text / Image Carousel / 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.
In a Scored Quiz, a choice question can also be switched to Collect data only: the answer is recorded but not scored — no option scores, and formulas can't use the question. Respondents see plain radio buttons / checkboxes instead of A/B/C badges. If a formula still references the question, you have to remove it from that formula before saving. Use it for profile questions (role, company size) that should segment leads without moving the score.
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 only.
