Questionnaire Structure

A questionnaire is consisted of two parts:

Questionnaire Header: Title and Subtitle

As described, the questionnaire header includes the title and subtitle of the questionnaire. It also includes the logo of the questionnaire, which is configured by the Questionnaire Theme.

Feel free to use a subtitle to describe the purpose of the survey or to encourage your customers to fill in the survey by offering a coupon or discount!
