How to specify question box number / name

Apply the attribute to override the default setting of the question box numbers, which normally is the increment of integers by 1.

Note: The “question name” must not be mistaken with the “Question label” attribute. “Question label” is required and used for logic expressions in filters and range control while “question name” is the number/name that will occur in the first analysis and exports if it is set.

Values are:

  • N – Specify a number that the question box shall have.
  • A – Specify a token consisting of A-Z, 0-9
  • # - Return to the default integer question box numbering
  • A# - A is replaced by a character token. The question boxes from this point will be numbered A4, A5, A6 (assuming that the last regular number was 3) and so on, until a new specification of the question name attribute changes the numbering method.
  • #A – A is replaced by a character token. The question boxes from this point will be numbered 7A, 8A, 9A (assuming that the last regular number was 6) and so on, until a new specification of the question name attribute changes the numbering method.
  • alphabet – The question box number is composed by using the last used integer question box suffixed by the English alphabet characters.
  • pending – This question box will not have any question box number.
