Questions about advanced question types.

Do I need an experimental design file?

For choice-based conjoint, bring your design file, attributes, levels, and study instructions. MaxDiff in Decipher can also be programmed from an item list, items per task, and task count. Review the design and tasks before fielding.

Are the same question types available on every platform?

Availability and behavior vary by platform. Questra programs for your selected destination; check its supported capabilities before choosing a method.

Can we reuse a custom question across studies?

Yes. Register your implementation in a fine-tuning template, then supply the content and parameters for each study. Custom behavior must be supported by your destination platform.
