Allocating one or more individual questions
1 In the Metadata Model to Quantum main window, select the variable (or variables) whose card, column, and punch definitions you want to allocate.
2 Right-click the variable(s) and from the context menu select Allocate Question(s).
Using more than one shared list for a question, or using the same shared lists for other questions, can result in errors. When this option is selected Metadata Model to Quantum allocates card, column, and punch values for each question separately and sets the property AllocateListsOption value to 1 for the Document.
When the option is not selected, Metadata Model to Quantum does not allocate card, column, and punch values for each question separately and sets the property AllocateListsOption value to 0 for the Document.
