environnement-questionnaire-omg1

The environment is composed of :

  • 1 a central working area,
  • 2 a six-tab horizontal strip (banner)  (home, insertion, forms, internet, languages, display),
  • 3 a four-window lateral explorer (plan, list of variables, forms, languages, design notes)

 

In order to facilitate the management of the survey elements, Sphinx IQ proposes two complementary explorers : an explorer to visualize the list of variables and another one to visualize the pages of the form.

To move from one explorer to the other : in the left lateral explorer use the tabs “list of variables” and “plan of the form”:

List of variables   Plan of the form
It allows you to see the set of variables (questions) which compose your survey. It allows you to see the questions on the pages of your form.

This list may be enlarged in the working area thanks to the double-arrow in the upper-right of the window.

Otherwise, the arrow on the upper-left of the window allows either to display only the titles of the sections, or to display the titles of the sections and the related questions. Displaying only the titles of the sections shows a global and synthetic view of the long questionnaires and facilitates their manipulation. A more precise display (section by section) may be set thanks to each arrow located in front of the titles of the sections.

  The advantages :
  • A synthetic displayof the content of the form pages and easiness of navigation.
  • Rapid distribution and reorganization of elements on different pages.
  • Moving the pages of the form to the explorer « Plan of the form ».
  • Having the possibility to have different questions on each of the created forms..
  • Restructure the list of variables independently of the form.

 Points of vigilance :

  • Moving a question in the form doesn't reappear in the list of variables. On the contrary, moving a variable in the list of variables doesn't modify the order of the questions in the form.
  • To remove a question off the form, you can either hide or delete it. In the first case, the question disappears from the form but still exists in the survey. In the other case, the question is totally deleted from the survey.

 

The window Forms shows all the questionnaires created and allows to choose the one we want to work on.

The window Languages lists the different languages of the study which have been defined beforehand (under a multilingual survey)

The window Design notes allows to create comments (recalls, explications...) which you use during the whole construction of the survey.
