Question Definition Window

After defining a Survey, you must define the questions to be included in the Survey. Questions may have up to six predefined responses or may be open-ended questions that accept a free form text response of up to ten characters. Questions are stored on the Survey Questions table.

Use this window to define questions that can be associated with a Survey. You can define one question regarding a certain topic that can be included in multiple surveys over many sessions. This information is stored on the Question Definition table.
