A multiple steps question can be used when there are a lot of predefined answers and these answers can be organized in categories. An example is when you ask someone which car he or she drives. Instead of listing all types of all brands, you can first ask the brand name and then present a list with specific types for this brand. With a multiple steps question you can help a respondent to find his way within a large number of predefined answers by organizing the answers in a logical way.

When you select the 'multiple steps' question type and press the Enter key, three lists are presented to you in which you can organize your predefined answers. You can choose between two or three steps (lists) on the right of your screen. First you define the questions for each step. This can be done just above the lists.
You can enter an answer by clicking with the mouse on the list and entering text. After each answer, just press the Enter key and you can enter a new answer. To enter questions in the second or third step, first select the right answer in the previous step. You can see the previous steps that are selected by their light color. Behind the answer in the first step you can see the total amount of answers for that answer in the next steps.
You can change the sequence of answers by dragging them with the mouse. To remove an answer, first select it and then click on the Backspace key while holding the Shift key.
