Report file type

Whenever you save a report to a file, this enables you to select the type of output for the requested report.

Questionnaire choices

These reports are reached using the Main window menu, Project, Print questionnaire to file

There are various reports that can be produced with varying amount of information:

Interview Simple: produces a document showing all the questions that could be used for paper interviewing

Interview Locs: the same as Interviewer Simple, but also shows data locations where questions will be stored in ASCII or binary data files

Check Simple: is used to check the project and is the same as Interviewer Simple, but also includes filter and variable definitions

Check Locs: the same as Check Simple, but also shows data locations where questions will be stored in ASCII or binary data files

Entry List: produces a list of all the entries in the project

Instructions: produces a list of all questions with interviewer instructions and shows those instructions

File type for report

You can choose to output:

HTML for use with an internet browser

XML for use with a style sheet

The HTML output is produced by converting the XML output using an XSLT style sheet file.  Some XSLT files are supplied with the software and can be chosen from the list box.

Browse

You can use the Browse button to select your own XSLT file instead.  This must have the extension .xslt and the file name must end with html, for example:

My_output_html.xslt

Action

Once the file has been produced you can:

Only make file.

View the file after it is made

Edit the file after it is made

The programs used for [View] and [Edit] must be set beforehand in Options settings.  The relevant external program is started after output file has been created.
