Add questions to an intercept study

Your mission relies on the questions you want to ask your participants. Questions guide participants through your unmoderated studies, and you’ll be able to analyze responses to each individual question when participants complete your mission.

Intercept studies will always have mission questions, but you can also include up to one screener question to help qualify or disqualify potential participants. Refer to the sections below for more information.

Screener questions

Screener questions let you use knockout logic to qualify or disqualify applicants. Each intercept study can include up to one screener question. This question will be presented to participants first to ensure they meet your requirements. Only those who do will be able to complete the rest of your mission.

To add a screener question to your study:

1. Navigate to the Intercept tab of your study.
   
   
2. Click + Add under Screener question in the left sidebar.

3. Select Multiple choice to add a new multiple choice question.
   
   

   Tip: You can also select Add from question bank to add a saved question from your question bank. For more information, see Question banks.

4. Enter a Prompt.
5. Enter your answer Choices.
   
   
6. Configure your knockout logic using the drop-down lists beside each choice. For more information, see Knockout questions.
   
   
7. Click Done.

Now, your screener question is added to your mission. Any Scouts who reach your intercept URL (and also match your selected targeting attributes) will be presented with your screener question at the start of your study. Those who qualify based on your knockout logic will proceed, and those who don’t will not.

Mission questions

Mission questions are the heart of your study. This is where you’ll collect the bulk of your insights, and these questions will make up most of your analysis when you’ve collected responses. In studies with a screener question, only those who qualify based on your knockout logic will advance to your mission questions.

To add mission questions to your study:

1. Navigate to the Mission tab of your study.
   
   
2. Click + Add in the center of the builder or under Questions in the left sidebar.

3. Select a question type.
   
   

   Tip: You can also select Add from question bank to add a saved question from your question bank. For more information, see Question banks.
