There is a tab named after your Survey Name (defined on the Basic Settings tab). There is another tab for each additional condition if you have enabled Random Assignment. On this tab, you may add new questions and delete or copy existing questions. On the final webpage, the questions will appear in the order that you arrange them with a "Click when Finished" button at the bottom of the page.
To add a question
Use the
drop-down box to select the Question Type (see Question Types for more
information) and the Destination Q # to specify
where the question should be created in relation to existing items. By default
the Destination Q # is one larger than the highest existing number, which means
that the new question will be added at the end of the current list. If you
specify a different number as the destination, the new question will be inserted
at that point and all existing questions will be shifted down one position and
renumbered. The numbers listed with each question are for the use of the
spreadsheet only and will not appear on the webpage. You may manually number the
questions in the question text if desired.
There are two data fields that are required for most questions (except
Instruction Paragraph and Image): Variable Name and Question Text.
Variable Name is the name of
the variable that will be stored in the data file associated with that question.
In order to prevent confusion between questions, each Variable Name must be unique. Data
names will be stripped of any spaces or special characters.
To copy an existing question
Use the Duplicate Question drop-down boxes to specify which question should be copied (the Source Question #) and the location that the copy should be inserted into (the Destination Question #). This allows you to create many questions with similar text or settings without needing to recreate the question from the default new question values each time. The default Source and Destination question numbers will duplicate the last question on the page and place it at the bottom of the page. Note that the Variable Name is not duplicated since all Variable Names must be unique.
To delete a question
Use the Delete Question drop-down box on the right, specifying the question number that you wish to delete. By default, this is the last number on the page.
To change the position of an existing question
Use the Duplicate Question feature to place a copy of the question in the desired location. Then use the Delete Question feature to remove the original.
To delete all questions permanently
Use the Clear All button.
If you are copying and pasting text from another application, such as another website or from MS Word, do not use the Paste menu or shortcut key (ctrl-v). Please click on the "Paste Text From Clipboard" button instead. Otherwise, your data may be unreadable.
