When the region changes what happens next
Delivery cost depends on the area. A retail chain wants feedback grouped by where its branches are. A conference wants to know how many attendees travel from out of town. Asked as a text field, the same place comes back in five spellings; asked as a list, it comes back once.
Sample prompts
- Which state do you live in?
- Where are you based? Pick a region and, if you like, add your city.
The region list, the city field and the phone view
The built-in list covers the 91 regions of Russia. For a survey in any other country, replace it with your own list (US states, UK counties, your sales territories) in the block settings; you can reset to the built-in list later.
The «ask about city» switch is on by default and adds a free-text city field under the region. On a phone the region opens as a scrollable list.
Results chart answers by region label; the CSV writes «region, city» into one cell.
What you can set
- your own region list instead of the built-in one
- ask for a city after the region
Getting clean geography out of the answers
Match the list to the decision you will make. If delivery prices come in four zones, a list of four zones is better than fifty states, because every answer maps straight to a price.
Keep the city field on when cities differ inside a region, for example to tell the capital apart from the rest of the area. Turn it off when the region alone is enough, since every extra field costs a few answers.
Add an «Outside the country» item to your custom list if some respondents may live abroad; otherwise they pick a random region to get past the question and pollute the results.
