Creating blocks of questions
Blocks are used to group questions for presentation or organizational purposes. For example, a block called Demographics might be used to group the demographic questions in a questionnaire.
Note The Routings section of the Properties pane allows you to select an interviewing mode for the questionnaire. This controls the supported question types. Paper - Scanning mode does not support True or False, Date/Time, Loop, or Block question types. So if you select Paper - Scanning for the interviewing mode, selection of these question types will be automatically disabled.
