# Prompt Response Types

> The 5 response types available for prompts: Yes/No, Text, Number, Number Range, and Custom Options.

Each prompt requires a **response type** that determines how participants answer the question. There are 5 types available.

## Yes/No

|                |                                                   |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Type value** | `yesno`                                           |
| **UI**         | Two radio buttons: "Yes" and "No"                 |
| **Best for**   | Binary screening, daily check-ins, habit tracking |

**Example**: *"Did you exercise today?"* → Yes / No

## Text

|                |                                                      |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Type value** | `text`                                               |
| **UI**         | Free-form text input field                           |
| **Best for**   | Open-ended reflections, journaling, qualitative data |

**Example**: *"Describe your mood in a few words."* → (free text)

## Number

|                |                                              |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Type value** | `number`                                     |
| **UI**         | Numeric input field                          |
| **Best for**   | Counts, measurements, single numeric ratings |

**Example**: *"How many cups of coffee did you drink today?"* → 3

## Number Range

|                |                                                                |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Type value** | `numberRange`                                                  |
| **UI**         | Numeric input with configurable min/max bounds                 |
| **Best for**   | Likert scales, pain scales, mood ratings, bounded measurements |
| **Defaults**   | min = 0, max = 10                                              |

**Example**: *"Rate your stress level (1–10):"* → 7

### Configuring the Range

* **Min** — the lowest value participants can enter (default: `0`)
* **Max** — the highest value participants can enter (default: `10`)
* Validation: min must be less than max

<Tip>
  Use Number Range instead of plain Number when you want to constrain participant responses to a bounded scale (e.g., 1–5 Likert, 0–100 VAS).
</Tip>

## Custom Options

|                |                                                            |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Type value** | `customOptions`                                            |
| **UI**         | Radio buttons (single select) or checkboxes (multi-select) |
| **Best for**   | Categorical data, multiple choice, forced-choice paradigms |

**Example**: *"How would you describe your sleep quality?"* → Poor; Fair; Good; Excellent

### Configuring Custom Options

1. **Enter options as a semicolon-separated list** — e.g., `Poor;Fair;Good;Excellent`
2. **"Allow multiple responses" toggle**:
   * **ON** (single only = true) → participants pick **one** option (radio buttons)
   * **OFF** (single only = false) → participants can pick **multiple** options (checkboxes)

<Warning>
  Options are separated by **semicolons** (`;`) in prompts. This is different from onboarding questions, which use commas.
</Warning>
