     • Type name, if, for example, you want to track the respondent's name.
     • Click on select value dropdown. Choose either first name or last name.
     • Click Ok.
     • Similarly, you can also insert a direct value as a respondent variable.
     • Example: Type 'Organization' and under select value, click on param-value and put "XYZ Inc".
     • Make sure you have the corresponding custom variable for 'organization' created in survey.
   • Click Background color, and Font color palettes in the Button section to adjust them in the button name.
   • Choose whether you want to show the default 'powered by Zoho Survey' option.
