Choice Matrix
The Choice Matrix field lets you create a question matrix with the same response options in a header row. Once you have set up your questions and header row, radio buttons will appear in the columns allowing users to make one selection for every question.
For example, you may want to add a series of rating scale questions to your form to gauge your customers' happiness with different aspects of your service.

In the Questions (Left column) field, type a series of questions or statements displayed in the matrix’s left column.
