# How to group questions by dimensions

> Create custom dimensions

#### **What you can do with dimensions**

1. **Use default dimensions**

   * Every account now includes our [JDR sub‑factor dimensions](/help/engagement-concept/questionnaire-factors) as fixed default dimensions which you can assign questions to right away. These dimensions are not editable.

   * When using [JDR-based survey or question templates](/help/engagement-concept/comparable-surveys), default dimensions will automatically be assigned.

**Create custom dimensions**

As an admin, go to **Settings → Account → Dimensions** to:

* Add custom dimensions (e.g., “Work–Life Balance,” “Team Collaboration”)

* Edit existing custom dimensions (rename or delete)

1. **Assign questions to a dimension**

In the survey editor, you can select **one dimension per question** from a dropdown. This ties that individual question to a broader concept for grouping.

2\. **Visualize by dimension**\
On a dashboard, you can then create dimension charts by bulk‑selecting questions by dimension.

### **Why use dimensions?**

* **Top‑level insights** : See how key parts of your survey (e.g., “Engagement” vs. “Support”) are performing.

* **Easier customization** : Tailor reports and dashboards around themes, not just individual questions.

* **Scalable organization** : As your survey grows, you can quickly assign themes to maintain clarity across questions.

### \*\*🛠 How it works

| **Action**                 | **Where/How**                                       |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Add/Edit dimensions**    | Settings → Account → Dimensions (admins only)       |
| **Assign to question**     | Survey Editor → select dimension in question editor |
| **Bulk‑select for charts** | Dashboards → create chart by dimension              |
