Open-ended questions

In Preely you can ask open-ended questions, where your participants can write a free response. This is a great way to have more qualitative data.

You can choose to add an open-ended question to all your tasks or you can choose to add it as a follow-up after question to know why your particiapnts gave a curtain rating or why they choose exactly that option in a multiple choice question.
Be aware that due to the qualitative nature of the data collected, the analytics is more time consuming compared to e.g. multiple choice or rating questions.

Step-by-step guide

Click “Create test”.

Write test name and choose languages

1. Welcome your participants

We have written a short welcome to your participants. If you want to change it, just write your own personal welcome.

2. Add task and questions

This is where you truly set up your test. Click ‘Insert element’ and create different tasks and ask your participants questions.

The task

When you want your participants to perform a task in your test, you add a task to your test. You write an introduction and then you formulate the task. Try to break down your tasks in small chunks.

3. Add prototype

Click Add prototype and upload your design(s) from screenshots or URL, og you can import artboards from Adobe XD, Figma, or Sketch.

Add endpoints

Remember to set an end screen on your tasks. This can either be a:

  • ‘Endpoint’: This means that your participants should click on this certain spot in your prototype to end the task
  • ‘Timer’: This means that you set a timer on the last screen in your test and after a set amount of time, the task is ended

4. Questions

When you want to ask your participant questions in your test, you add questions to your test.

Here you can choose between different answer types:

  • Rating and opinion scales, like: Likert scales and semantic difference scales, smiley rating, Net Promoter Score (NPS)
  • Multiple choice
  • Open-end questions
  • Logic jump questions

You can set all questions to be optional and you have the opportunity of including a follow-up question for both rating questions and multiple choice.

5. Demographic data

Here you can toggle between asking for demographic data or not. Demographic data includes: Gender, age, zip code and country.

6. Test completed

Then you’re at the end and you want to thank your participants for participating. We have written a short thank you note. If you want to change it, just write your own personal thank you.

… and then you are good to go!
