Built on matrix (stored as Matrix Text Entry — Short). Multi Swipe lets respondents swipe or tap each statement right to increase and left to decrease a running score against a concept, up to a configured range — recorded as one signed integer count per statement.
What respondents see#
A concept image sits above a list of statements. Swiping (or tapping) a statement right increments its score (shown in green); swiping or tapping left decrements it (shown in red), up to the configured range in either direction. Respondents can tap the concept image to zoom it, if enabled.
When to use it#
- Fast concept-scoring exercises where a directional gesture (more/less of an attribute) feels more natural than typing a number.
- Studies pairing a single stimulus image with several rapid-fire statement scores.
Configuring it in the builder#
Drag Multi Swipe from the Custom Interfaces group. Author your statements as matrix rows, add the concept image via the shared Concept Instruction rich text field (the same field used by Directional Swipe), then tune the score range and layout.
Settings reference#
| Setting | What it controls | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Score range mode | loadFullVersion toggles a 4-point (2×2 layout) vs. 9-point (3×3 layout) range | 2×2 (false) |
| Statements per screen | How many statements show before paging (1–20) | 5 |
| Concept section height | % of viewport given to the concept image (20–80%) | 50% |
| Zoom-thumbnail toggle | Allow tapping the concept image to view it full-size | On |
| Left/right icon images | Custom icons for the decrement/increment swipe directions | Platform default icon set |
| Next / tap-to-view / tap-to-close labels | Button and instructional micro-copy (Messages tab) | "Next" etc. |
Good to know: If the Concept Instruction field is left empty, the widget falls back to parsing legacy instruction | <img>-style question text for backward compatibility with older surveys.
Logic support#
Built on matrix, so it supports the same condition operators as a standard matrix question. See Logic, Flow & Conditions.
