Hide Question: Please Click Here to refer Hide Question.


Repeat Header:  Sometimes when there are a lot of attributes in the side break, users may need to scroll down till the last attribute. But when he does that, he will not be able to view the number of items. To avoid this, the Repeat Header option, when selected, will repeat the headers after every few attributes/items, so that users can also view the number of attributes. This can be tested in the preview screen.

  • Properties | Complex Grid Question:
  • Number of Attributes:

Please refer Working with Question Attributes.

  • Number of Columns:

Number of columns is the additional feature shown in the complex grid whereby the user can add multiple columns but each column can represent a different type of response. For example the first column has single choice responses, whereas the second column represents a text or numeric response. Just click on the “+” sign under Number of Columns, to add any number of columns.  Clicking on the “-“ sign will delete the column.

By default when the user adds a complex grid question, there will be only 1 column displayed and user can then add multiple columns according to his requirement.

At a time, properties of only 1 column are displayed and that column is automatically highlighted. If user wants to change the properties of other columns, he needs to select the other column in the middle pane and the same will then be automatically highlighted in the properties section.

  • Number of Items:

It will simply add the number of items in a column selected by the user. For example in the screenshot below, 2 items have been added under Column 1. It is like a grouping of items under Column 1.
