Questions are the most important entries in a project. They define the questions that are asked and list the possible responses, where applicable.
All entries are stored in the project master (QDF) file.
If the data has already been entered for the project you may be able to get the question and response texts, see Starting a project, Data supplied.
Questions can be added from the Main window, by using the [Insert] menu, toolbar button, or the context menu (right click).
Details about the new question are entered in the Entry details window. This window is used to add and update all entries, except program entries. For questions, see Entry details, question.
You can use a text document to create the question and response texts with Questions from text available from the Main window and the Entry details window.
You do not need to close the Entry details window after each new entry is inserted because there are toolbar buttons to add more new entries.
The order of entries in a project is very important, see Reference Manual, Entry rules, Entry order.
For information online on how to handle repeated questions see https://netmr-download.scot/user-documentation/repeat-questions.
The controls available on the Entry details window vary depending on the type of entry being edited. For questions, see:
You may need to embed the answers to earlier questions in later questions:
Be careful when naming entries and allocating text, see Reference sections:
