Use the Value tab in the UNICOM Intelligence Masked Control Properties dialog box to specify the number of characters or digits and, in certain circumstances, a variable name.
Changing value properties of masked controls
1 Right‑click the masked control whose properties you want to change, and then click Properties.
The UNICOM Intelligence Masked Control Properties dialog box appears.
2 Click the Value tab.
Variable Name
Specifies a variable name to identify the information for UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on. If you are using the control for responses to questions defined in the questionnaire definition, you do not need to enter a variable name because UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper automatically assigns the variable name defined for the question. If you are using the control to collect information that is not part of the questionnaire definition, assign a unique name for the variable.
Note You cannot add extra UNICOM Intelligence masked controls to the questionnaire simply by inserting the control where you want it to appear in the questionnaire. Instead, you must insert a new question to which the UNICOM Intelligence masked control can be attached.
Numeric
If you are using the control for responses to questions defined in the questionnaire definition, UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper automatically creates the control with the correct number of digits based on the range and mask properties of the question if they have been specified. You need to enter this information only if these properties have not been set in the questionnaire definition or if you are using the control to collect information that is not part of the questionnaire definition.
Number of digits before decimal symbol
Specifies the number of digits before the decimal symbol.
Number of digits after decimal symbol
Specifies the number of digits after the decimal symbol.
You define settings for the decimal symbol on the Numeric tab in the UNICOM Intelligence Masked Control Properties dialog box.
Text
If you are using the control for responses to questions defined in the questionnaire definition, UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper automatically creates the control with the correct number of characters based on the maximum characters and mask properties of the question if they have been specified. You need to enter this information only if these properties have not been set in the questionnaire definition or if you are using the control to collect information that is not part of the questionnaire definition.
Number of characters
Specifies the number of characters. If this is greater than the number of characters per line specified on the Characters tab, the control will have multiple lines.
