How can I randomize my questions?

    Hello! My survey has a lot of questions and I was wondering if I could have them randomized so that the same questions aren't getting answered at the beginning while people fizzle out toward the end.  Is there a way to randomize them?

    Thank you!

    Shuffle widget can be used to randomize the questions.

    And then in the widget settings - you can choose what fields to exclude from being shuffled.

    Thank you Andrew!
    However, I don't see the shuffle widget in my widget list? Does it matter
    that I used a form with one question per page? And if so, can I change the
    form to be all on one page?
    Thanks again for your help!

    Hi Jean,

    I'm sorry - the shuffle widget is not available for Card Forms (one question per page forms).

    I've added a feature request to our developers team to make the Shuffle Widget available for the Card Forms as well. Though it's uncertain when it'll actually be available for us to use. 

    I hope this helps. Please do let us know if you have any other queries.

    Thank you Andrew.
    Is there a way to switch to a one-page format or do I need to make an
    entirely new survey?
    Also, when the questions are randomized with the shuffle widget, will my
    data still be complied by question although they appear in a different
    order on the survey?
    Thank you!

    You can switch the form format in the form settings.

    Yes, your form fields will still appear to their original order in the submissions page/reports/emails.
