This question type enables the respondent to show how and where they would allocate resources such as funds or CO2 emissions or even elements like park furniture/elements or housing units. In contrast to the plain Budgeting element, Geobudgeting enables the respondent to place the budgeted items on a map.
- Set up the map or interactive image that you want to use (see Further instructions on how to set up a background map).
-
Add the Geobudgeting element to the survey page.
-
Write the question in Question label. Enter your budget in numbers (without commas). Write the unit of the budget (it does not have to be money!). The unit symbol is placed after the number by default, but you can change that by switching on Unit first under the Extra settings tab (circled in the image below).
-
Write the item names and costs. Extra and Style settings tab contain settings that allow you to include a description as well as set the icon and color of each bar.
- Test in Preview.
