Use the MDM Properties tab to specify the version, language, context, and label type that you want to export.

Questionnaire definition (.mdd) files typically contain versions, which record any changes to the content of the questionnaire. When the questionnaire changes (for example, a question or category is added or deleted), a new version is created and when the changes are complete, the version is locked.

Using a combination of some or all of the versions is useful when, for example, you want to export case data for more than one version and there have been changes to the variable and category definitions that mean that case data collected with one version is not valid in another version. Selecting all of the versions for which you want to export the case data, means that generally you can export the case data collected with the different versions at the same time without encountering validity errors due to the differences between the versions. However, depending on the version changes, some validity errors might still occur.

Displays an expression that represents the selection you have chosen. You can select the versions you want to use by typing an expression in the box.

You can specify a combination of individual versions, and ranges to include or exclude. For example, the following specifies version 3:2 and all versions from 4:5 to 7:3 with the exception of versions 7 through 7:2:

When there is a conflict between the versions, the order of precedence is taken from the order in which versions are specified in the expression, with the rightmost versions taking precedence over the leftmost. For example, if a category label differs in the versions you select, the text in the version with the higher precedence will be used. However the order of questions and categories is always taken from the most recent version and there is special handling of changes to loop definition ranges and the minimum and maximum values of variables.

Use the most recent version.

Use a combination (superset) of all of the available versions. This is sometimes called a superversion.

A list of all of the versions that are available. For each version, the following information is shown:

Select the language you want to use. You can change the language only if there is more than one language defined.

Select the user context you want to use. The user context controls which texts are displayed. For example, select Question to display question texts, or Analysis to display shorter texts suitable for displaying when analyzing the data.

Select the label type you want to use. You should generally select the Label option.
