Column Options provides several check boxes that allow you to alter various aspects of the answer choice you are adding or modifying. The following is a summary of each option, how it affects the answer, and what additional fields you may encounter when the option is selected.


Selected by Default

When checked for a specific answer choice, this option will cause that answer choice to be selected by default when a new user loads the survey. You may only select this option for one of your radio button answer choices. The radio button question type allows for the user to only select one possible answer, and therefore, only one of the answers can be selected by default.


Customize Template for this Answer

When creating a template, designers can specify fields that pertain to radio button answer choices. If you check this option, additional fields will appear allowing you to customize various aspects of this answer choice in the template you have chosen. Some of the more common customizations are items such as answer text style and answer text field style. The template designer, however, can include any fields they wish (and hopefully provide relevant help -- click on the question mark icon next to each field to read more about it).


Fixed Position

This option will only appear if you have Randomize Columns or Alphabetize Columns enabled for the field Column Order. When selected, this option prevents this particular answer choice from being randomized or alphabetized, leaving the answer choice in place.
