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.

Different tabs are available for specific question types. To change which tabs are displayed for a specific question, right-click the area where the tabs display, and then select the tabs.

This tab is available when working with numeric, text, and database question types and provides options for including special responses (Don’t Know, Refused, No Answer).

This tab enables you to specify 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 replace, rather than supplement, the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper instructional text. For more information, see UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper.

This tab 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.

The Short Name field is used only 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”.

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

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