Frequently asked questions

What should a user research screener template ask?
User Research Screener Template pages should collect the basics without forcing people into stiff fields. A strong version asks about What's your current role, How long have you been doing this, How often do you use [product category], and What's your biggest challenge with current tools. NativeForm starts with those prompts and follows up when answers are vague.
Why use an AI-native user research screener template?
Conversational screening adapts to answers. Qualification scoring based on actual responses. The point is simple. You get cleaner answers and less manual cleanup.
Can I customize this user research screener template?
Yes. Start from the template, rewrite the prompt, add or remove questions, keep the smart fields you want, and adjust routing rules without rebuilding the whole intake flow from scratch.
