Open question

Previous  Top  Next

The interface of the open question provides you with a text box, where you can fill out any value.


Figure 7: Open question

If you click on the answer textbox, you can provide a value. This value will be used whenever a respondent gives an answer to the open question. If you choose <<UserInput>> from the pulldown, the value that the respondent enters will be used.

The values that you can provide depend on the data type of the destination column. For the string type, you can enter any text string. For the numeric type, you can provide any numerical vale. If the column is of type date, then you will be able to select any date and the value <<DateParticipated>>, which will be replaced by the date at which the respondent completes the survey. For the boolean data type, you will be able to select true or false.

The interface for the comment question is the same as for the open question.
