     Note

     Text questions are answered with written responses in plain text and can be analyzed in the Questions dashboard after answers are submitted. Metric questions, which include Yes/No, Numerical, and Rating scale formats, can be analyzed in the Trends dashboard and/or Polls dashboard after responses are collected.

5. Each question is labeled with its question type and tags. Click the Set up button next to the question you'd like to add to Check-ins.
   
6. Select your question audience. You can choose from three options: Company-wide, Group, or Person.
   
   
   • Company-wide: These questions are asked to everyone.
   • Group: These questions are asked to the members of selected groups.
   • Person: These questions are asked to specific people.
7. Set question context settings. Choose whether or not you want the question author, frequency, and/or audience to appear under the Check-in question as people fill out their Check-ins.
   
8. Select how often you'd like the question to be asked. Should this question be shown in every Check-in, only once, or on a set schedule?
   
   
   • Show in every Check-in: The question will appear on all Check-ins for every reporting period, regardless of their frequency.
   • This is a one-time question: You will see the option to add the question for the current reporting period or the following reporting period.
   • Schedule this question: Additional options will expand asking you how often you want the question to appear. Options are weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and quarterly.
9. Select desired question settings. You can choose to make the question optional, allow multiple answers, or even post it to Slack.
   
   • 'Required questions' option: If you check the Required question box, people will be required to answer this question before they can submit their Check-in.
   • 'Allow multiple answers' option: If you check the Allow multiple written answers box, people will be able to give more than one answer to the question. This is only relevant for text questions.
   • 'Include an optional written answer' option: If you check the Include an optional written answer box, people will be able to submit a written (qualitative) answer in addition to their yes/no, numerical, or rating scale answer.
   • 'Share answers on Slack' option: If you check this box, you will be prompted to provide the name of the Slack channel you want to push answers given for this question to. All answers given to this question will post to that Slack channel. You will only see this option if your company has set up the 15Five <> Slack integration.
