Create a questionnaire using "batch create"

Using the batch create pane within the Design Q&A mode, it is very easy to create a basic questionnaire.

Start designing the Q&A

Open your document in the Design Q&A mode. This can be done in the following ways:

• either by clicking the button in the top right corner of Assemble document and then clicking

• by clicking on the button within t he Design Q&A mode, and choosing the underlying document to build the Q&A from

• by editing an existing questionnaire by clicking on it on the home page and selecting

Go to batch create

The Design Q&A mode will automatically open in two panes, showing the document and cards panes. You can choose to add a third pane to your screen by clicking at the top.

Change one of the available panes to the batch create mode by clicking the pane selector (e.g. ) and choose Batch create.

Create your cards

Now you will see an overview of all concepts (including their datafields) used in your document.

You can now choose to:

• with one click create a separate card for each concept, each containing questions for their respective datafields; or

• create custom cards by individually assigning concepts or datafields to individual cards or questions.

The quickest option is clicking the button, which creates a separate card for each concept, each containing questions for their respective datafields.

Alternatively you can go through each of the datafields, clicking the button to either add them to an existing card or create a new card for the selected datafield. Make sure you don’t forget any datafields.

Finalising the questionnaire

Having created cards or questions for all datafields, you can use the cards pane to finalise the questionnaire by adding conditions and/or options to your cards/questions, use the changes pane to make changes sets etc.

At this stage, a handy way of working is by opening the “cards” or “changes” pane (depending on what you’re working on), the “test cards” pane and the “test document” pane so you can immediately simulate the questionnaire without having to go to the “simulate” mode.
