Making a question required - validation

You can use validation to force respondents to answer a question or request that they consider answering a question before they proceed to the next page. When validations are not enabled, respondents can continue to the next page without answering a question. If respondents go through all the pages in the survey without selecting answers, the response is still considered as complete.

There are two types of validation, Force response and Request response. By default validations are turned off, you can enable them for individual questions or in bulk using.

You can enable validation by going to each question in your survey and turning on Validation.

This option forces respondents to answer the question before they can proceed to the next page of the survey. If they try to proceed without answering the question, they will see a message letting them know they must answer the question to proceed.
