Survey Question Type: Numeric Allocation

What it does- Applied during survey design phase, this question type allows for the respondent to enter numeric values and display the total and/or validate the desired total.

When to use: Survey questions of this type should be used when trying to gain insight on what percentage of something (time, money, effort, etc.) respondents are using in a particular context.

Advantages: This question type can require respondents to either enter values that total a desired amount OR require no validation. In addition, the Survey Creator has the flexibility to show or hide the sum of the values entered into the field.

Disadvantages: This type of survey question shouldn't be used when trying to extract open-ended, rating, ranking, or multi-select information on a particular survey issue.
