What are Custom Labels?

Custom Labels are a way to change the text of items when viewing results. This can be useful when distributing results to others, or to make the results easier to use. You can create and maintain Custom Labels by using the "Form->Custom Text->Custom Labels" menu option.

Custom Labels can be applied to results in the following areas:

  • Emails
  • Success Pages
  • Summary Table
  • Item Summary Report
  • Printable Report
  • Cross Tabulation
  • Public Results
  • Results Links (from Publish page)
  • Exports

There is no limit to the number of Custom Labels you can create or use.

Create New Custom Labels

On the Custom Labels page, click the "New" button and enter a unique name in the "Label Name" field. A list containing each item on your form is shown in the "Item Labels" section. Enter new text in the box next to each item to show that text in place of the item's normal text for this Label. If the Custom Label is empty for a given item, the item's normal text will be shown. When you are finished, click the "Save" button.

Edit or Delete an Existing Custom Label

On the Custom Labels page, use the "Label" selector on the left to select a Label. Modify any settings. When you are finished, click the "Save" button. To delete the Label, click the "Delete" button.

Custom Labels Examples

A common use of Custom Labels is to simplify long question text for viewing in results. You can give each item more descriptive text to display to users filling out the form, then use a Custom Label to show a simple handle, or nickname, for each item.

Another common use of Custom Labels is to show different item text in various formats that are used for different purposes. You can setup public results for two different groups that have custom labels that are unique to each, for example.

Additional Information

Custom Labels are form specific, there is no way to use a Label with a form other than the one it was created for. When you copy a form, any Custom Labels it has will also be copied.

In a specified Custom Label is deleted or empty, the item's text will be shown by default.
