Types of Slides

Learn about all the different types of slides at your disposal.

There are currently 23 types of slides. Each type behaves differently and was built to help you collect the right data from your customers and site visitors.

All of the options allow you to enter a Title, Subtitle, and Body Copy.

The rest of this doc dives into each type of slide, how it can be used, and an example picture. We recommend hopping into Zigpoll's free plan and experimenting with different slides yourself!

Multiple Choice

This type lets you create several answer options. Your customer can pick one or more.

Once the customer submits the answer, the results can be shown (this is optional, you can hide it if you prefer by deselecting Show Results). You can have as many answers as you like.

Additionally, you have the option to include a dynamic "other" answer. A dynamic answer gives the user an input box to fill in whatever they prefer. These results will show up in your dashboard so you can review them.

Single Choice

This type lets you create several answer options. Your customer can pick one.

Once the customer submits the answer, the results can be shown (this is optional, you can hide it if you prefer by deselecting Show Results). You can have as many answers as you like.

Additionally, you have the option to include a dynamic "other" answer. A dynamic answer gives the user an input box to fill in whatever they prefer. These results will show up in your dashboard so you can review them and will be auto-summarized in Zigpoll Insights.

Short Answer

Open-ended response in a single line box. You can set placeholder text or fine print.

Once you have enough volume of open-ended responses, Zigpoll will help with summarizing themes and responses.

Long Answer

Open-ended response in a multii-line box. You can set placeholder text or fine print.

Once you have enough volume of open-ended responses, Zigpoll will help with summarizing themes and responses.

Binary choice

Useful if you want a "Yes/No" answer between two choices.

For example: "Are you buying this for someone else?"

Form Panel

A slide that allows you to have multiple fields. These are best used for "contact us" or support forms.

When creating each field within a form panel, you have the option to set the type of question (email, long answer, phone number, date etc.) and whether the field is optional or required.

When filled out, the responses will be grouped together on your dashboard for convenience.

File Uploads

File uploads let respondents upload files, and you can restrict the number of files allowed, file type, and max file size. This can be useful for wholesale use cases, support, or for custom designs!

Additionally - if you would like your user to take a picture, enable the "mobile auto-capture" field. When enabled the camera will pop up on mobile devices automatically for a streamlined expereience. This will limit the number of files accepted to 1 file only. Great when you're expecting photos or UGC content.

Image Choice

Upload a set of images to allow customer to pick from. Can upload unlimited images in theory, but best to cap it at 6.

You can control rules around how many images must be selected and how many columns of images to be displayed

Best used for product/design feedback or to see whether respondents remember a particular ad creative.

Consent

Useful if you want to opt-in users for marketing communications or Terms & Services.

Country

Allow respondents to select from a list of countries.

Star Rating

This type is useful if you want to get a 1-5 rating from your customers.

Style can be stars or emojis, and you have the ability to customize the labels.

Slider

Useful for a scale measurment of a metric.

You have the ability to change labels, change the increment of the slider.

If you want the slider to represent options 10,20,30... you would set increment to 10.

For example: How do you like our new feature from 1-5?

This is another useful type for capturing user feedback. It is more limited in that you only have five emotions, but it can be helpful for getting a quick reaction to a new feature.
