Keycodes
UNICOM Intelligence Author allows you to define custom keycodes for question responses. You can manually assign custom keycodes, or allow UNICOM Intelligence Author to auto-fill response keycodes.
To assign keycodes manually
1 Select a question from the Routings pane.
2 Enter keycodes for the question responses in the Keycode field in the Design pane.
If the Keycode field is not displayed, click the Field Chooser icon, and then click Keycode.
3 Repeat these steps for all applicable questions.
Do not keycodes that start with the same characters. Do not define ambiguous keycodes, especially when one keycode is a part of another keycode. For example:
Q1 "What activities do you like?" {Basketball keycode(1), Football keycode(11)};
For this question, the interviewer's intention cannot be determined when the 1 key is pressed. Changing the keycodes to the following would result in better results:
Q1 "What activities do you like?" {Basketball keycode(01), Football keycode(11)};
For this question, the interviewer's intention can be determined because although both keycodes contain 1, the interviewer must press a unique first character.
The Ctrl and Alt keys can be assigned as keycodes, but the user interface Ctrl and Alt assignments supersede the keycode assignments.
To auto-fill keycodes
Click Tools > Options > General., and then select Automatically fill keycodes.
For information on defining auto-fill settings, see
Keycodes: Auto-Fill.
