<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Each task in a preference test is aimed at learning which design in a set is the most preferred by your respondents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The tasks include a generic text that should work in most cases. (“Which design do you prefer?”) However, if a more specific text works for your case (e.g. “Which design is easier to understand?”) we recommend that you make use of your ability to customize the text to your liking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set the device frame if you’re testing mobile designs and the respondents on desktop will see what the design would look like if framed within the specified type of device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The designs don’t only need to be pictures or screenshots (JPG\/JPEG, PNG, GIF). You may also include sound recordings (MP3, WAV) or video (MP4) and gauge your audience’s opinion on a variety of topics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If your design is large and doesn’t properly fit into the viewport, you can\u00a0<\/span>Enable vertical scrolling\u00a0<\/span><\/b>to make the design scrollable. This setting is\u00a0<\/span>design specific\u00a0<\/span><\/b>and needs to be enabled for each design separately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Check\u00a0<\/span>Show design label to respondents\u00a0<\/span><\/b>to have the design labels appear to respondents as they’re completing the study. By default, the designs are set to stand on their own. However, in some cases, a descriptive piece of text can be useful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To insert more tasks into the preference test, click\u00a0<\/span>Add another task<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- By default, respondents can’t skip tasks. You can enable them to skip tasks by checking\u00a0<\/span>Allow respondents to skip tasks<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Check\u00a0<\/span>Prompt respondents to start each task with a button\u00a0<\/span><\/b>to enable the respondents to take breaks between tasks and\/or to hide the designs from them while they’re reading each task for the first time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Check\u00a0<\/span>Prompt respondents to confirm their choice\u00a0<\/span><\/b>to show the respondents a dialogue when they choose a design. In this dialogue, they will be prompted to confirm their choice. This can be used to prevent accidental selections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n \n
