Choice Settings

Choice Setting	Description
Static Choice	This option can be used with question randomization logic. When this logic is applied, a question choice with static choice enabled will remain in the same location for every user. TIP! If you have an "Other" choice, and wish to Randomize, or Alphabetize your choices, this will ensure that Other is always at the bottom of the list.
Score	Scoring allows you to assign a value to each choice. This is commonly used in Reviewer Forms. NOTE: By default the Score will be None. This means that no custom score has been set and the choice will take on the default score. The default score for the choices is based on its placement in the list: Choice 1 = 1 Point, Choice 5 = 5 Points etc. TIP! If you do not want a choice to have a value, enter 0 as the score associated with a choice.
Branch to	In addition to using the Branching Wizard in the form editor, you have the option of applying simple branching logic directly to the question choice. To set this up: Click the dropdown Select the page you wish to branch, or direct, users to if they select that question choice. NOTE: This movement will take place when they click to proceed to the next page.
