The working area of the main screen is divided into these tabbed sections, each designed to present different aspects of the questionnaire:

Displays the contents of each question in the questionnaire, and provides facilities for inserting, deleting, and moving questions. You can also use this tab to select questions for editing, and to link two or more questions to form a group.

Displays basic details (usually name, text and choices) about a single question. Use this tab to create the basic content of your questionnaire and then insert more detail by working on the Advanced tab.

Displays full details for a single question, and provides facilities for defining routing, specifying whether a question must be answered, whether it is a standard or dummy question, and the order in which responses are to be displayed during interviews. For grids, you also specify whether the subjects are the rows or columns of the grid. For numerics, you specify the range of valid responses.

Displays presentation details about a single question. Work on this tab when you want to define how the question should appear on the screen or on the printed page.

Displays export values for a question, including the label text and category values (response codes). Use this tab when you want to export the questionnaire for analysis purposes but do not want to use the default texts and response codes.

On all tabs, if you hover over a question name in the list of questions on the left of the page, Build displays a pop-up showing the question text.

Create, open or save questionnaires, and preview them before printing.
