How to customize all your check boxes in style mode When you create a questionnaire you can make sure it matches your company’s branding. This worksheet shows you how to use Style mode to: use images as response boxes for your multi-choice questions save your new style to use with other surveys. Background Snap has two modes for creating questionnaires: Design and Style. Design mode is where you add questions. Style mode is where you define the look of the question types used in the questionnaire. Snap allows you to style the font, background and spacing of your questions. You can choose which aspects of the question are visible and how the response box looks. You can use Style mode to change the look of all questions of a specified style or type. The only thing you cannot style is the type of response as this can change the way the data is analysed. You must change the response type of individual questions in Design mode or the Variables window.
