Carousel Grid is a Custom Interfaces plugin built on matrix, labeled grid_statement_choice internally — respondents swipe through statements one at a time and pick a column answer for each, instead of scanning a full grid.
What respondents see#
Statements (rows) appear one at a time in a swiper. Below each statement, an answer-choice carousel lets the respondent pick a column value. A statement with an image can be tapped to zoom to full size before answering.
When to use it#
- Long statement batteries where a full matrix would feel overwhelming on a small screen.
Configuring it in the builder#
Drag Carousel Grid from the Custom Interfaces group in the question palette, or convert an existing matrix question. Choose Single select or Multiple select under Answer type in the question's Settings tab. Plugin-specific layout and messaging live in the question's Settings tab and its Messages and Button Text tab.
Exclusive answers (Multiple select)#
With Multiple select, any column can be made exclusive, for an answer such as "None of these". Open the column's ⋮ menu and choose Make Exclusive; the column shows an Exclusive badge. For each statement, picking the exclusive answer clears the respondent's other picks, and picking any other answer clears the exclusive one. The option is not shown for Single select, which already allows one answer per statement.

Logic support#
Built on matrix, so it supports the same row/column condition operators as a standard matrix question. See Logic, Flow & Conditions.
