| Modern mobile phones often offer Internet access and an Internet browser. So what could be more obvious than using these smartphones for surveys? There are three different cases: | The proportion of participants filling out a questionnaire on a mobile phone varies significantly depending on the study. However, in most studies, it is essential to assume that a significant portion of respondents will complete the questionnaire on a small display. In practice, the following scenarios arise: |
| |
| * ** The questionnaire should work everywhere**\\ Often, participants should just be able to complete the questionnaire - regardless of whether they are using a laptop, tablet or smartphone. | * ** The questionnaire should work everywhere**\\ Often, participants should just be able to complete the questionnaire - regardless of whether they are using a laptop, tablet or smartphone. |
| * ** Questionnaire for computers only**\\ Other study designs are unsuitable for smartphones, e.g. when a task requires a great deal of information to be displayed on the screen at the same time or when response times are to be recorded at the touch of a button. In this case, you want to make sure that the questionnaire is not filled in on the smartphone. | * ** Questionnaire for computers only**\\ Other study designs are unsuitable for smartphones, e.g. when a task requires a great deal of information to be displayed on the screen at the same time or when response times are to be recorded at the touch of a button.

| Approximately every fifth person who completes a questionnaire on SoSci Survey uses a mobile device. Tablets are unproblematic: They offer sufficiently large screens and all types of questions in SoSci Survey can be answered just as easily by touch (touch display) as with the mouse. With smartphones, however, the small display can become a problem. | The percentage varies between 0 and 100 percent depending on recruitment -- but on average, 4 out of 10 people use a smartphone when they access a questionnaire at www.soscisurvey.de (data from the second half of 2018). This does not include tablets, which are unproblematic: : They offer sufficiently large screens and all types of questions in SoSci Survey can be answered just as easily by touch (touch display) as with the mouse.

| |
| * Create a question of the type "Device and transmitted variables". | * Create a question of type [[:en:create:questions:client|Device and Transmitted Variables]]. |
| * On the Device tab, select Format. | * In the //Device// tab, check the //Format// option. |
| * Drag the question to the page where you want to filter - or to the first page of the questionnaire. | * Drag the question to the page where you want to apply the filter – or directly to the first page of the questionnaire. |
