The Dynamic Open Text (DOT) extension is a standard Open Text question with additional prompt functionality. This enables you to add prompts and encouragements to the open text question that will hopefully elicit more detail in the responses. The extension adds a "progress bar" to the response field that fills with color and encouragement as the respondent types text into the field, and prompts for additional detail can be displayed if specified keywords are used by the respondent. For example, if the question asks the respondent his/her opinion of the service they received in your store and the respondent uses the word "staff", "cashier" or "salesperson" in his/her reply, then you could add a prompt asking for the name of the member of staff - .

You can add multiple Dynamic Open Text questions to a page, copy the configuration settings from a DOT question in another survey, and capture keywords a respondent may type.
Note: This question type cannot be used with triggers.
