How to display choices of a select multiple question in a 6x5 grid?

Hello!

Part of my form will have a select multiple numbers where there’ll be 30 options. Is there a way to display them in a custom setup, such as a 6x5 grid?

Thank you!

Hi @kiranarora, welcome to the community!

You can check all of the appearances of the select many question type in here:

You might check the horizontal options.

Best,

@kiranarora, maybe you could also do it as outlined below:

The First Approach: grid-theme approach

In the survey tab of your XLSForm:

In the choices tab of your XLSForm:

In the settings tab of your XLSForm:

Downside:

The downside of this approach is that it is best compatible with Enekto. Data management maybe an issue later (after collecting data).

The Second Approach: columns-n approach

In the survey tab of your XLSForm:

In the choices tab of your XLSForm:
