Step-By-Step

  1. Click on the question you would like to edit.
  2. Click on the Purple Gear Box (Question Options drop-down) to the left.
  3. Select the Recode Values option.
  4. A new box will open. Check the yellow Recode Values select box and/or the pink Variable Naming select box.
  5. The values and labels will then appear next to the answer choices.
  6. Click on the values, delete them, then type in your new values. Do the same for the labels.

QTips

  • These values and labels can be changed during survey building or after you have collected your data. The change will be reflected in your report and raw data.
  • Matrix question type will show an additional blue field for Question Export Tags. This allows you to apply an export tag to each individual row statement of the Matrix question, similar to the export tags (gray numbers) to the left of each question in the main Edit Survey view.
