8 Question types and settings

You can create a multitude of question types in your forms, specify settings according to the question type, and classify hidden questions in a form.

• Create a coding question and coding target field
  Create a coding question to let a site user collect a single piece of data that is automatically mapped to one or more fields from a coding dictionary.
• Create a date/time question
  Create a date/time question when a subject's answer to a question includes times or date values, or both.
• Create a drop-down question
  Create a drop-down question when site users must select an answer from a drop-down.
• Create a label (repeating table only)
  Label items allow you to add predefined read-only values to a repeating form and better control the data that is collected. Label items are read-only and can't be edited by the site user.
• Create a number question
  Create a number question when a subject's answer to a question includes numbers only.
• Create a question group
  Create a question group when you need to collect data that is related and you want to display it on the same line.
• Create a question with checkboxes or radio buttons
  Create a question with checkboxes, if you want site users to select multiple options for an answer. Or create a question with radio buttons, if you want site users to choose one single option as an answer out of other options.
• Create a read-only item
  Create a read-only item for values that site users can see but not edit.
• Specify details for a rollover question
  Create a rollover question when site users must select an answer from a drop-down and enroll subjects in a rollover study. A rollover type of question is typically included in a study completion form in the original study.
• Create a text question
  Create a text question when a subject's answer to a question includes letters only or letters and numbers.
• Create an age question
  Create an age question to insert a Date of Birth question and a read-only calculated age field.
• Configure source data verification settings
  If your study requires a targeted source data verification strategy, you must work with your study manager to configure these two settings for certain or all questions in the study.
• Classify a hidden question
  You define data classifications for a question when you want to create exceptions on hidden questions based on the permissions assigned by a user administrator.
• Create Question Hint text
  You can create question hint text to provide site users with guidelines for data entry. Question Hint text displays to users on the right side panel when entering data on a form.
