Date

The Date question type lets you collect structured information in day, month, and year format — useful for capturing birth dates, visit timelines, experience durations, or any time-based response.

Date Question Example

When to Use​

Use a Date field when you want users to input:

  • Date of birth
  • Last purchase date
  • Event attendance date
  • Timeline of a customer journey

Customizing the Date Question​

When you select "Date" from the content type list:

  • You can add a label and optional description
  • You can use basic formatting options like bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and links within the label and description.
  • Set the question as mandatory or optional
  • Choose a date format:
    • DDMMYYYY
    • MMDDYYYY
    • YYYYMMDD

Respondent Experience​

Respondents will see separate fields for:

  • Day (DD)
  • Month (MM)
  • Year (YYYY)

The layout ensures clarity and uniform data input across responses.

Respondent Preview​

Here’s how the Date question appears to users filling out the survey, whether on desktop or mobile:

User Preview – Date Field

Each part of the date — day, month, and year — is shown clearly for fast and error-free input, especially on mobile devices.

Additional Settings​

  • You can customize the proceed button label (e.g., "Next", "Continue", "Submit")
  • Logic jumps can follow the Date question based on whether it was filled or skipped (in conditional paths)

Looking for questions based on duration instead? Try the Dropdown or Number types.
