All this information was entered (or default values were used) when your survey questions were created. This screen is also displayed when clicking the Question button on many of the other screens.

The displayed question summary values are read-only, Some values can be changed on the report settings screen. All values can be changed on the screens where the question text and choices were entered. The report settings tab table allows quick editing of question keywords and topic phrases. The report settings can be changed by entering new text, values, or changing the check box status (marked or unmarked) for each question.

The Single Question Summary displays the question text, questions choices, question type, keyword phase, topic, column headings, maximum values and rating scale for the selected question. The table on the Report Template tab allows quick editing of question keywords and topic phrases.

Question Topic

If the question text is short (less than 30 characters), and a question topic has not been entered, the question text is inserted as the topic phrase. The topic phrase is also used for identifying questions for the analysis. It is also used as a column heading for the cross-tabulation survey analysis and for survey chart titles (Professional version). Clicking the Save Report Settings button will also save the added topic phrases to the survey question file.

Format

When check boxes are selected, no limitation is placed on the number of check boxes that can be marked. (The cell is labeled Box, Col. or Row).
