Appearances

The appearance column in the survey sheet lets you control how a question is displayed to the user. It does not change the question type, but modifies how it's rendered on screen.

Below are the supported appearance values:

minimal Displays a compact dropdown or minimal version of the input. Often used with select_one questions to reduce space.

compact Renders select options as compact buttons instead of long lists. Great for quicker selection.

field-list Used with groups to display all the questions in that group on the same page.

label Used with select_one or select_multiple to display only the label of the choice, without a button, checkbox, or radio input. Useful for visual layout tweaks.

likert Formats select_one choices in a Likert-style layout, useful for agreement scales or rating responses.

horizontal Displays choices in a horizontal row instead of the default vertical stack.

month-year Allows users to select only the month and year. Commonly used with date fields when day-level accuracy is not needed.

signature Displays a signature pad where the user can draw their signature. Works with image or draw-type questions.

draw Enables the user to draw on the screen, often used for sketches or maps.

multiline For text questions, shows a larger input box allowing multi-line responses, like a comment box.
