To open or use this sample form, go to the Design tab, scroll down to the Your forms and datasets section, and click + then Start new form; then enable Use a sample form as your starting point and choose Field lists: Multiple questions on a single screen from the list. You can also click here to download the spreadsheet form definition.

In this sample, you will see two ways to display several questions on a single screen. In both cases, the questions to be displayed together have been grouped using begin group and end group rows. Also in both cases, "field-list" is specified in the appearance column, to indicate that these questions should appear on the same screen.

Following are the key elements of the first group in the spreadsheet form definition:

type	name	label	appearance
begin group	page1	Basic respondent details	field-list
text	name	What is your name?
select_one region	hh_region	Which region are you in?	minimal
end group	page1

Above, "minimal" is also specified in the multiple-choice question's appearance column, in order to display the options as a drop-down menu rather than a list of radio buttons. This is how the questions will appear to users:

In the second group, the "label" and "list-nolabel" appearances are used so that the series of multiple-choice questions will appear in a single table:

type	name	label	appearance
begin group	page2	Household assets	field-list
select_one yesno	labels	HH has a..?	label
select_one yesno	has_radio	Radio?	list-nolabel
select_one yesno	has_tv	TV?	list-nolabel
select_one yesno	has_motorbike	Motorbike?	list-nolabel
select_one yesno	has_car	Car?	list-nolabel
end group	page2

And this is how these questions will appear to users:
