A display-only block — it presents content but collects no answer. Use it for instructions, images, consent text, or section breaks.
What respondents see#
Rich text, an image, or both, followed by a Next button. There's nothing to answer — the respondent reads and continues.
When to use it#
- Section introductions and consent text.
- Stimulus images shown before a choice or matrix question.
- Break pages between long question batteries.
Configuring it in the builder#
- Choose Text or Graphic variation.
- Text variation — author rich text content (bold, links, lists) with the standard rich-text editor.
- Graphic variation — set an image URL, with optional caption, alignment, and max width.
- Optionally set a custom Next button label.
- Display logic still applies, even though no answer is collected — use it to show a block only to some respondents.
Settings reference#
| Setting | What it controls | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Variation | Text content vs. Graphic (image) content | Text |
| Caption / alignment / max width | Graphic variation only — how the image is presented | — |
| Next button label | Custom label for the continue button | "Next" |
| Display logic | Condition rules for showing/hiding the block | None |
Logic support#
Text/Graphic supports display logic the same way any other question does, but has no answer-based operators of its own since nothing is collected. See Display Logic and Logic, Flow & Conditions.
Good to know#
- It can never be made required, takes no question number, and never appears in your exported data.
- Instruction Swiper and Timed Instruction (see Custom Interfaces) are built on Text/Graphic and inherit its display-only, no-answer behavior.
