MatrixResponse

The MatrixResponse interface is used to define the properties of a matrix radio or matrix checkbox response. Question options are rendered as rows of the matrix, each row containing its own radio/checkbox group. Answer options are rendered as column headers of the matrix. These can be customized by passing in the custom strings into the answer options. Alternatively, answerOptions can be set to one of the following custom strings: 'satisfaction5','satisfaction7', 'likely5', 'likely7'. This will automatically generate the appropriate headers for the matrix.

Example for a 5-scale satisfaction matrix with three questions:

{
"id": "multi-satisfaction",
"prompt": "Rate your satisfaction from 1 (not enjoyable) to 5 (very enjoyable) for the following items.",
"required": true,
"location": "aboveStimulus",
"type": "matrix-radio",
"answerOptions": "satisfaction5",
"questionOptions": [
"The tool we created",
"The technique we developed",
"The authors of the tools"
]
}

Here's an example using custom columns (answerOptions):

{
"id": "multi-custom",
"prompt": "Which categories do the following items belong to?",
"required": true,
"location": "aboveStimulus",
"type": "matrix-checkbox",
"answerOptions": [
"Has Legs",
"Has Wings",
"Can Swim"
],
"questionOptions": [
"Dog",
"Snake",
"Eagle",
"Salmon",
"Platypus"
]

}
