Response Validation
Validations are set on a question-by-question basis and control what is allowed to be inputted
into a questionnaire by the respondent. Survey Workbench offers a wide-range of standard
validations. However, custom validations using JavaScript can be added by advanced customers
using the Code Block feature of the product.
