Question Input types refer to attributes used to specify the type of data that is expected to be entered into a form field. Examples of input types include text, email, date, number, checkbox, etc. Each input type is designed to validate the format of the data entered by the user and may trigger additional behaviours or features, such as a calendar date picker, numbers, and so on. Using appropriate input types in placeholders is essential for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of data entered by users. By selecting the appropriate input types for each field, such as using a "date" input type for a date picker helps enhance user experience, provide data validation, and ensure accessibility. More information about placeholders can be found here.

To change the question input type of a placeholder, navigate to the desired question within the questionnaire tab. You can see an input type already present there which, in most cases, is set to ‘Text’ by default. To change it, open the dropdown menu and choose the relevant input type for your question. In the example below, “Text” has been chosen for ‘Name’ whereas “Number” has been opted for the placeholder called ‘User ID’.

Upon answering the questionnaire, the user shall receive the corresponding input based on the question posed. Avvoka will proactively prohibit erroneous input attempts such as textual entries in numerical fields.
