### Add a questionnaire task

A questionnaire task collects vital self-report metrics from participants through single or repeated touchpoints, such as baseline surveys, daily mood assessments, or sleep diaries.

 

Using Labfront questionnaires allows you to use the [adherence dashboard](https://help.labfront.com/track-adherence?hsLang=en) to monitor completion rates instantly.  You can also[download each participant’s questionnaire data](https://help.labfront.com/download-your-data?hsLang=en) along with their physiological data, keeping your digital biomarkers and self-report metrics consolidated in one place.

 

####  Setup steps

- Navigate to the **[Participant Tasks](https://help.labfront.com/setting-up-participant-tasks?hsLang=en)** section of the App Builder.
- Select either **Event Tracking** or [**Scheduled Task.**](https://help.labfront.com/task-scheduling-ema?hsLang=en)
- Click **Questionnaire**.
- Definite your task details: 
    - ##### **Title -** Choose an easy-to-understand title for this questionnaire task. This will be displayed on the home page of the participant app.
    - ##### **Description** - Provide a brief description of the questionnaire task letting participants know what they need to do. This will be displayed when they click into the task.

![HC\_App Builder\_Add Scheduled Task\_Questionnaire](https://help.labfront.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help%20Center/Project%20Creation%20and%20Setup/HC_App%20Builder_Add%20Scheduled%20Task_Questionnaire.png?width=600&height=433&name=HC_App%20Builder_Add%20Scheduled%20Task_Questionnaire.png)

 

### Configure your questions

You can build a survey from scratch or duplicate an existing questionnaire. 

#### Option A: Build a new questionnaire

- Click **Create New** to enter the questionnaire builder.

- Input your **Section Title** and **Description. **

#### **Add logic**

Creating a questionnaire that is relevant to your participants is crucial for keeping engagement high and data quality strong. Labfront allows you to customize the participant journey using [skip logic and display logic](https://help.labfront.com/using-skip-and-display-logic-in-labfront-questionnaires?hsLang=en).

![HC\_Questionnaire\_Edit-Logic-1](https://help.labfront.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help%20Center/Project%20Creation%20and%20Setup/Questionnaire/HC_Questionnaire_Edit-Logic-1.png?width=670&height=296&name=HC_Questionnaire_Edit-Logic-1.png)

### **FAQs**

#### **Can participants receive more than one Labfront questionnaire each day?**

Yes, there is no limit to the number of questionnaires that may be created for each day of your study.   

 

#### Can I reuse questionnaires I’ve created from previous studies?

Yes. When adding a questionnaire task, select **Add Existing Questionnaire** to choose from your previously created questionnaires.

#### **Can questionnaires be scheduled to appear on specific days?**

Yes, you can create a [scheduled questionnaire task](https://help.labfront.com/task-scheduling-ema?hsLang=en). Labfront supports fixed, semi-random and fully random schedules for ecological momentary assessment. 

 

#### **What kind of questions can Labfront’s questionnaires support?**

Labfront questionnaires can support open text input, multiple choice, slider, date, time, date-time, and multiple selection questions. Images and YouTube videos can also be added to questions. 

 

#### **Can I edit a questionnaire after my project is published?**

Questionnaires *cannot* currently be edited once they're live because doing so would make your data really difficult to keep track of (imagine multiple versions of the same questionnaire with only small changes). If you made a mistake on your questionnaire or want to add or remove a question, we suggest [archiving the questionnaire task](https://help.labfront.com/edit-your-project?hs_preview=koIVGqTb-96522227045&hsLang=en#hide-task) and [adding a new task](https://help.labfront.com/edit-your-project?hs_preview=koIVGqTb-96522227045&hsLang=en#new-task) with the updated questionnaire.

 

#### Do Labfront questionnaires support skip and display logic?

They do! We recommend reading: [Using Skip and Display Logic in Labfront](https://help.labfront.com/using-skip-and-display-logic-in-labfront-questionnaires?hsLang=en)

#### Can I delete a questionnaire from a live project?

To preserve past data, questionnaires can't be deleted from a live project. However, you can [archive the questionnaire task](https://help.labfront.com/edit-your-project#hide-task)<https://d10xq304.na1.hs-sales-engage.com/Ctc/ZU+23284/d10xq304/JlY2-6qcW95jsWP6lZ3lvW54VgkJ8NhkXjW2_YKGw3D9SmqN2fCNSRRzpvgW6QpfkD7XwqCwW5gk9zt22tbKYVP4dG88kRh8yW1rFjTF4Jqv1bW8vV4sh5db4tQW6Mybr_8s5yqNW6qMJSZ3Sv9S0W2P7ypf8sgjjDW3ZlvTV7J3KvJW7hwv2n5DyPd5W61hR7h2XLylvW5Cv-dv6tKCdbW5_f_LH4tZTVKW2GPswj3JqVNYW8FC5qn2bXlQMW4_Bf3h4zZBFpW9cncdc4V4Z_FW6Ls18j4n6gX3W38H_1k2p3bWDVs3HLQ82FcVjW853hqg2Dr31fW1JMnc36F7y_pW2b4vHw5rStXhW8K-8R-1LlpgyN6vhVbNbnZZ3W53WNRr4t9cWcW716Mbw3mTsTTf8k8h_K04> to hide it from participants. This will prevent them from seeing it while ensuring that all existing data remains intact.
