Design pane

The Design pane provides a graphical representation of all the questions in the Routings pane or the Questions pane (whichever is selected). You can use this pane to view all questions and routing items for a specific routing, enter the text for questions and responses, fine-tune your questions by specifying additional options for the responses, and define custom properties for the responses.

Note Different tabs are available for specific question types. You can view which tabs are available for a specific question by right-clicking the area where the tabs display, and selecting the tabs from the context menu.

Allows you to supplement instructional text that is automatically added to a questionnaire in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper application. When viewed in UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper, the respondent instructions precede the generated UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper instruction text. You can edit your UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper settings to eliminate all instructional text, in which case the respondent instructions added in this tab will replace, rather than supplement, the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper instructional text. For more information, see UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper.

Provides options for entering a question name, short name, description, and responses. Information displays in read-only mode when working with database questions. For more information, see Creating questions and responses.

Note The Short Name field is only used by the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper application and is typically a shorter version of the question name. It is often the question number, such as “Q14”.

Displays the question as it appears in script language. For more detailed scripting information, see mrScriptBasic overview.

Displays when working with Set Response routing items. For more information, see Adding a Set Response to a questionnaire.

Allows you to create translation specific notes for each question. This is useful when a questionnaire is translated into multiple languages, as questions may require language-specific instructions.
