DEFINITION

 

A Table of Contents is an automatically generated navigation page that displays all questions and question blocks in your questionnaire. Respondents can click on any item to jump directly to that section, making it easier to navigate longer surveys.

#### 1. How to activate the Table of Contents

1. In the questionnaire editor, navigate to the beginning of your questionnaire 
2. Find the Table of Content option in your survey components
3. Toggle the Active switch to enable it
4. The Table of Contents will automatically appear after your intro screen and before your first question

Once activated, the Table of Contents will be inserted as a separate page inside your questionnaire (between the intro page and the questions).

#### 2. How to customize the Table of Contents text

You can add custom text that will appear above the automatically generated table:

1. After activating the Table of Contents, you'll see a text editor box
2. Click in the text area to add your custom message
3. Use the rich text formatting options to style your text

Your custom text will appear above the auto-generated question list.

#### 3. How the Table of Contents displays your content

The Table of Contents automatically organizes your survey content in two ways:

### With Question Groups (Categories)

When you use **question groups** in your survey:

- Each question block appears as a category heading
- Questions within each block are listed underneath
- The structure looks like (without any text in the Table of Contents box!):

**![Table of Contents - question groups structure](https://help.pointerpro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Table%20of%20Contents%20-%20without%20question%20blocks-1.png?width=500&height=605&name=Table%20of%20Contents%20-%20without%20question%20blocks-1.png)**

### Without Question Blocks

When you don't use question blocks:

- All questions are listed sequentially
- Each question appears as a numbered item:

![Table of Contents - without question blocks](https://help.pointerpro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Table%20of%20Contents%20-%20without%20question%20blocks.png?width=500&height=459&name=Table%20of%20Contents%20-%20without%20question%20blocks.png)

### Navigation Features

- **Clickable items:** Respondents can click any question to jump directly to it
- **Return navigation: **After viewing a question, respondents can use the double arrow (\>\>) button to return to the Table of Contents view

![Table of Contents - navigation feature](https://help.pointerpro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Table%20of%20Contents%20-%20navigation%20feature.png?width=500&height=290&name=Table%20of%20Contents%20-%20navigation%20feature.png)

TIP

 

Use clear, descriptive question block names as they become your category titles. Keep custom text brief and helpful, and consider using the Table of Contents for longer surveys. Don't forget to test the navigation flow to ensure smooth user experience.
