Single selection question blocks
Single Selection questions allow the rater to select a single response from a list of response categories. A second set of response categories may also be added for the same question set.
Example of single selection question from desktop view:
Example of single selection question from mobile view:
- Primary Selection Display Type - Select between radio buttons, a drop-down list, a list box or a numeric box.
Paper forms are disabled when using the numeric box primary selection type.
Modifying an existing Single Selection question to a numeric box results in all existing N/A responses for that question being given a score of -2 consequently any reports based on those responses may be adversely affected.
- Horizontal or Vertical Display - Determines the layout of the question in relation to the response categories.
- Vertical - response categories appear directly under the question. Both the question and the response categories are left aligned and radio buttons are arranged vertically.
- Horizontal - the question is left aligned while response categories are right aligned and begin one line below the question. Radio buttons are arranged horizontally.
Paper forms are only compatible with vertical display mode. Any Single Selection questions using horizontal display will automatically use vertical display with paper forms.
- Include Comments - Provides a text box for raters to include open ended responses after selecting a response.
- Number of lines - Set the default size of the comment box. This only affects the visual layout, as the number of lines does not determine the maximum size of the content. Scroll bars will automatically appear when needed. Raters are free to enter as much text as needed.
