Questionnaire design

Introduction

A CallWeb questionnaire is contained in a strict ANSI file (only ANSI characters, no word processing commands) where each question is presented in the sequence in which it will be used in the questionnaire. The questionnaire file uses the following naming convention: the extension must be .scw (stands for "script for CallWeb") and the file name (without extension) becomes the project name as far as CallWeb goes. Caution: the case of the letters counts in the name of the file and in the project name.

The structure of a question definition is as follows:

QUESTION_NAME_GOES_HERE
% Question text follows this % sign
   QUESTION TEXT
% Note text follows this % sign
   NOTE TEXT
% Answer categories follow this % sign
   ANSWER CATEGORIES
% Simple skips follow this % sign
   SIMPLE SKIPS
% Display condition follows this % sign
   DISPLAY CONDITION
% Open end part definition follows this % sign
   OPEN END PART
! End of question definition

So a real-life example of a question definition would be as follows.

##
## Question Q1
##
Q1
% Question text
   Are you generally considered a male or a female?
% Note
% Answer categories
   Male
   Female
   *9*I don't really know
% Simple skips
   9 = BYEBYE
% display condition
   Q0.EQ.1
% Open end part
   9 = C80 2 40
! End of question definition

Each segment of the questionnaire definition will now be reviewed.
