Editing Questions

From QualtricsWiki

In the survey editor there are several tools that will help you to achieve the look and function you want. When you click on a question, it will turn light blue. This highlighting will help you to see which question you are editing.

[edit] Question Type

This green box is located to the right side of your question and will allow you to set a certain type for your question. Once you click on the box it will display the twelve default question styles. If your desired question type is not displayed click on the blue "Show All Question Types" link at the bottom of the box. For more information about question types that are available click here.

[edit] Question Labels

Labels are especially useful when you have a question using a large amount of text, as that text can sometimes be difficult to use. The idea of the label is to shorten the text, or "label" of the question, so it is more usable with Qualtrics, as well as other tools, like Excel and SPSS. When you change the label of a question, the label is used in Qualtrics when setting up Skip and Branch Logic, Quotas and Triggers, and the questions column in a report in view results. The label is also exported by default when you export data. So the header of the question's column in Excel, will display the label as opposed to the full question text.

When you type text into a question text field, you will see a small icon like the one to the left at the bottom left corner of the text field.

Hovering over this icon will display the following:

When you click on "Edit Question Label", you will see a preview of your current question text, which you can edit to be the label you desire.

When you click off of the question text field, your label is saved. Your label will be available for edit anytime you click on that particular question's text field.

If you want to remove the label and go back to using the full question text, click on the "Reset Label" button at the bottom right corner of the text field.
