Sidebar and Navigation in Questionnaire Builder
The sidebar in the Questionnaire Builder gives you quick access to every question type and widget while you design your questionnaire. You'll use it every time you build or edit a questionnaire in the back-end Questionnaire Builder.
You'll need this:
- One of these Pointerpro plans:
Professional
Enterprise.
ReportR
DistributR
Definition: Some users call this the "builder menu" or "question panel." In Pointerpro, we call it the sidebar.
On this page:
1. Find any question type fast
2. See what a question type does before you add it
3. Stay oriented as you scroll
1. Find any question type fast
The sidebar lists every available question type and widget. Instead of scrolling to find the one you want, you can search directly in the sidebar.

2. See what a question type does before you add it
Turn on Show Info in the sidebar, then hover over any question type to see a short description of what it does. This is useful if you're not yet sure which question type fits what you want to ask.


3. Stay oriented as you scroll
The sidebar and top navigation stay in place as you scroll through your questionnaire, so you don't lose your spot in longer questionnaires.
