Responses block updates

Extended or CATI licences

Sometimes you will want to make the same changes to a set of questions with similar response lists.

These are done with Responses block update.

Supplemental rejects

The "Rejects" tab allows you to amend the supplemental reject response for all selected entries with a response list.  You can:

Remove all the supplemental rejects from the selected questions that have one

Add a supplemental reject to all the selected questions that do not have one

Choose the response text for any new reject responses

Choose to suppress these responses in analysis if there are no respondents who need to be put in them

Refuse input

The "Refuse" tab allows you to amend the "Refuse input" setting for all selected entries with a response list.  You can:

Set "Refuse input" for all responses that do not have a response text set

Remove the "Refuse input" setting from any response that does have the response text set

The "Refuse" setting prevents this response from being selected when data is entered.

Score values

The "Score values" tab allows you to amend the score values for all selected entries with a response list.  

The entries are grouped so that any entries with identical response lists only appear once.  Selecting a group allows you to see the response list texts and any changes made will affect all the entries in the group.  You can:

Remove the score values from the entries

Add score values to relevant responses

Having set the first score value you can use "Ascending" or "Descending" to set the remainder with each score value being one more or one less respectively

Ask the program to set the score values by inspecting any values found in the response texts

Ranking

The "Ranking" tab is used to add or remove "Start ranking" and "End ranking" to responses in the selected questions.

For questions the program will not include special response types.

For variables you can choose to exclude the last response(s) from the ranking.

Summary rows

The "Summary rows" tab is used to add summary rows to all the selected entries.

For each summary row you choose:

The range of responses to include

The text for the new response

Where to place the summary row in the response list

This is often used to add "Top 2", "Bottom 2" to rating scale variables.
