Questionnaire add-on provide simple way to create questionnaires such as customer feedback or employee survey. User just create question set and set those to questionnaire component.

Questionnaire should contain at least one question and multiple choice questions should contain at least two alternative answers. Question behavior can be declared with changing its type. These types are TEXTFIELD, TEXTAREA, CHECKBOX and RADIOBUTTON.

Each question type could be set required and user answer length is limited. Length limitation can be customized but default values will be used if not set. Textfield default max length is 255 characters and textarea default max length is 4000 characters. User answers are in plain text format in any question type. Radiobutton is always required due its nature. First alternative answer will be set selected by default.

Validator messages and required field indicators can contain HTML so these can be customized e.g. images and other resources.
