Question Designer 

The question designer is one of many elements you can use in your project. It allows you to ask a question and gather the answers.

To create a question designer, simply right-click on a white area in your frame and select Question Designer or drag the blue circle from an element you already have in your frame to a white area:
 
 

Style the Question Designer element

 
To open the Design Editor for Question Designer elements, click the new Question Designer element twice (once in your frame, the second time in the sidebar):
 
 
What you can do here:
  •  add a title, subtitle and a qr-code (explained in more detail under Media Designer here in this documentation)
  •  Add a background image/video, overlay it and apply the background design to all elements in your frame (explained in more detail under Media Designer here in this documentation)
  •  change the color of the buttons
  •  add and delete buttons
  •  hide specific buttons (to do this, hover the mouse cursor over a button until a small eye icon appears)
  •  hide all buttons (activate the "Hide all buttons on screen" toggle switch)
  •  hide the avatar (activate the "Hide avatar" toggle switch) 

Change the color of the buttons

As long as the buttons are not clicked, they will have the default color as background color and the selected color as font color. After the user selects a button, it will be the other way around:
 
 
To change the color, click one of the buttons in the editor and select Change default color or Change selected color. You can select a color from the color palette or, for example, if you have a specific hex value, switch to HEX and enter the hex code:
 
In this GIF, we use an external tool to retrieve the color from another website and insert the hex value of that color.
 
 

Add, delete and hide Buttons

 
At the bottom there are some buttons, here you will find the button Add button. Click on Add button a new button will be displayed. If you hover the mouse cursor over the newly created button, you will see a small eye icon on the left to hide the button and an X on the right to delete the button:
 
A hidden button can still be triggered by voice command! 

 

 
 

Robot speech

 
What should your robot say, while showing the screen with the buttons you just created? Click on the field Enter text for robot to say directly or in the sidebar:

 

Speech Variations

 
The input field will pop up where you can add the robot speech and also some variations.
 
 
Next to the speech variations you will find the condition to say section:
 
In every speech input field you have the possibility to add a condition to say. If the condition is not met, the robot or avatar will not say a word.
 
 
 

Button text and variation

 
It does make a lot sense to give the button text variations to cover more possible answers from your users. For example if you have an button with the button text Start, you might also want to cover Let's start, please start, let's go and so on.
 

 Condition to show

 
Like the condition to say, the condition to show has to be true, so the button will be displayed.
 
Here is an example: Lets say your avatar is a concierge and every morning it has the menu for the breakfast. But only until 11:30 am. Then the button changes to lunch and from 6 pm to dinner. Here you could add three buttons and every button will get a condition. As attribute we will choose Time from the list. Time has to be bigger then 8 am and smaller than 11:30 am for the first button. The second Button Lunch will get the condition time as well but this time with the value bigger then 11:30 am and smaller than 6 pm. Lunch will get as well the attribute time but in this case time has to be greater than 6 pm and smaller than 9 pm.
 
 
In our example, only the Breakfast button is displayed because it was between 8am and 11:30am when we took the screenshot:
 

 

Good to know: The Time is based on the time of the browser where the avatar is running. It should automatically be local time, whether your avatar is in Asia, Europe, America, etc. 

Save answer

Next to the option condition to show, you will see the option to save answer. Here you can think of a name for the attribute where you want to save the answer in. Example: We create a question "What is your favorite flower?" and store the answer (for example Rose) in an attribute called favoriteFlower:

 

Add new buttons

 
There are two ways to add more buttons. One (which we discussed above) is to do this in the editor (where you can design your Question Designer element) and the other way is to add more buttons in the sidebar. To do this, click on the plus icon:
 
 

 

Change the order, duplicate and delete buttons

 
You can change the order, duplicate and delete buttons in the Editor (as described above), but sometimes it is faster to do it in the sidebar.
 
Next to the button in the sidebar you will see three buttons: one to change the order (click on it and drag it to where you want it and drop it), the next one is to duplicate the button and the third one is to delete the button:
