Survey Builder

Build any survey in minutes

The onesurvey builder gives you everything you need to create structured, professional surveys without writing a line of code. Drag questions in, set your rules, and publish — your field team sees the updated survey the next time they sync.

18 question types

Every format you need for serious field research:

• Short answer — single line text response
• Paragraph — multi-line text response
• Multiple choice — single selection from options
• Multiple select — pick one or more from a list
• Dropdown — compact single selection
• Multiselect dropdown — compact multi-selection
• Linear scale — 1-to-N rating with custom labels
• Star rating — visual 1-to-5 rating
• Date — date picker with min/max constraints
• Time — 12 or 24-hour time input
• Duration — hours and minutes entry
• Image — camera capture or photo upload
• Video — video recording or upload
• Audio recording — voice memo capture
• File upload — any file type with size limits
• GPS location — automatic coordinate capture
• Multiple choice grid — matrix of rows and columns
• Tick box grid — multi-select matrix

Multi-page surveys

Long surveys are easier to complete when they're broken into logical sections. onesurvey lets you organise questions across multiple pages — each with its own title and description. Surveyors see a progress indicator so they always know where they are.

Answer validation

Mark any question as required. Set numeric ranges, restrict text formats, or enforce selection limits. Surveyors cannot proceed past a page until required fields are filled — so your dataset arrives clean, without follow-up calls to fill in gaps.

• Required fields — block submission until answered
• Numeric range — min and max value enforcement
• Selection limits — at least, at most, or exactly N choices
• File constraints — allowed file types and size limits
• Time constraints — min and max time bounds
• Date constraints — restrict to specific date ranges

Question randomisation

Eliminate sequence bias by shuffling question order per respondent. You can randomise at the question level within a page, or randomise the order of pages themselves. Standard practice in market research and academic studies — simple to enable in onesurvey.

Survey-level settings

• Background audio recording — record the interview as the surveyor fills the form
• Surveyor location capture — tag the surveyor's GPS position to every response
• Progress bar — show or hide survey completion progress
• Back navigation — allow or prevent going back to previous pages
• Question numbers — show or hide numbering
• Custom submit button text and thank-you message
