# What is Required Response Type?

## Setting up your Tasks is essential. Read this article to learn about the Required Response Type field and what it means.

### ![Settings Tab](https://support.youli.io/hubfs/Illustrations/Settings%20Tab.svg)

### Understanding Required Response Type

Every TASK must have a RESPONSE TYPE. This indicates what form will be shown to the **Traveler** when they complete the Task. There are 9 pre-set Task Response Types to choose from. Continue reading to learn about each one.

![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_9.01.41\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_01_41_pm-2.png?width=600&height=271&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_01_41_pm-2.png)

### What does each of the Response Types mean?

### **1. Checkbox (Done)**

Use CHECKBOX when you're providing information and just need confirmation that it has been reviewed or completed.

![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_9.18.40\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_18_40_pm-1.png?width=500&height=333&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_18_40_pm-1.png)

### **2. Radio Button  (Yes/No)**

Use RADIO BUTTON when you need a YES or NO answer.

![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_9.33.20\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_33_20_pm-1.png?width=500&height=320&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_33_20_pm-1.png)

### **3. Select all that apply**

Use SELECT ALL THAT APPLY when you want to offercustom options to pick from and allow the **Traveler** to specify more than one. **Planners** must enter the options when setting up the task.

### ![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_9.41.16\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_41_16_pm-1.png?width=450&height=371&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_41_16_pm-1.png)

### **4. Select only one value**

Use SELECT ONLY ONE VALUE when you want to offer custom options to pick from, but only allow the **Traveler** to select one option. The Planner must enter the options when setting up the task.

![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_9.52.02\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_52_02_pm-1.png?width=456&height=307&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_52_02_pm-1.png)

### **5. Date picker only**

Use DATE PICKER ONLY when you only need to know a date.

 

**![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_10.20.33\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_10_20_33_pm-1.png?width=451&height=372&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_10_20_33_pm-1.png)**

### **6. Date + time picker**

Use DATE + TIME PICKER when you need to know both a date and a time.

 

![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_10.16.55\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_10_16_55_pm-1.png?width=500&height=449&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_10_16_55_pm-1.png)

**TIP:** This type works well with the ENABLE OPTIONAL DOCUMENT UPLOAD(S) when asking for flight arrival times (or if you need a **Traveler's** birth chart😁).

### **7. Input Box (Comment)**

Use INPUT BOX when you need a long or short answer to a question that doesn't have a fixed set of answers or you just want some feedback.

![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_10.06.00\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_10_06_00_pm-1.png?width=500&height=360&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_10_06_00_pm-1.png)

**TIP:** You can set TASKS due even after the TRIP start date. Try collecting feedback on events or the entire trip by using a Task!

### **8. Document(s) Upload**

Use DOCUMENT UPLOAD when you require at least one document to be uploaded. **Travelers** can upload more than one but cannot complete the TASK unless at least one document is attached.

This RESPONSE TYPE is good for copies of:

- Travel insurance policies
- Flight bookings
- waiver forms
  
  ![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_9.56.57\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_56_57_pm-1.png?width=457&height=445&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_9_56_57_pm-1.png)

**NOTE:** Current supported upload types are: PDF, PNG, JPG

 

### **9. Passport form + Upload**

PASSPORT FORM + UPLOAD is a very useful Response Type that prompts **Travelers** for all passport details and requires them to upload a copy of their passport.

 

![Screen\_Shot\_2019-10-15\_at\_10.25.39\_pm.png](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_10_25_39_pm-1.png?width=455&height=575&name=Screen_Shot_2019-10-15_at_10_25_39_pm-1.png)

**TIP:** Often used together with [NOTIFY MAIN CONTACT](https://support.youli.io/360001209375-how-to-notify-trip-page-contacts-when-a-task-is-completed?hsLang=en) and always essential for international trips.

### 10. Custom Form

If the above pre-set options don't meet your needs, then you'll need to select [Custom Form](https://support.youli.io/360001209415-tasks-custom-forms?hsLang=en)so you can build your own forms from your own fields, headers, and instructions.
