Six extra fields can be added to each set of survey responses. The six extra fields are the Email User name, Email Address, Email User IP, and 3 User Codes. This information can be gathered from web surveys and also be entered when recording responses from a paper survey, revising the current database, and importing records into the database. This information can be analyzed on numerous reports. Of course, if these fields are not included in the database, they are not available for analysis. The check box must be checked so these fields are included in the survey response database.

If checked, the six extra fields will be included when manually recording survey responses with the Design Menu - Record Responses. If unchecked, the last survey question will be the last question displayed.

If marked, each cell distribution can be charted. If this check box is not marked, the individual cell distributions are not included in the chart listing.

If checked, Hints can be hidden. The display of Quick Entry hints are also determined by this setting. This is the length of delay between when the mouse cursor is positioned over the top of the control, and the hint is displayed (tenths of a second).

Other common terms for moving around a web survey (Top, Back, Next, and Last) will also use the selected language. Common terms such as the months of the year, and report column headings will also use the selected language.
