Specifying column heading text for an item in a repeating form or section

If an item is included in a repeating form or section, you must specify a value to be used as the column heading for the item in the layout of the form or section. Specify this value in the Short Question property of the item.

Note: If your InForm installation includes the Reporting and Analysis module, do not use the words Subject Number or Subject Initials as the value of the Short Question property for an item in a repeating form or section. Subject Number and Subject Initials are reserved terms in the Reporting and Analysis module. Using the words Subject Number or Subject Initials as a column heading in a repeating form or itemset definition causes an error when you generate the clinical reporting model. If the Question property of an item in a repeating form or section is Subject Number or Subject Initials, use a different formulation for the Short Question, (for example, Subject Num or Subject Init).

1. Create the item.
2. Select the Properties Browser.

   Note: If the Properties Browser is not visible, select View > Properties.

3. In the Properties Browser, type the column heading text in the Short Question property.
4. Press Enter.
