How can I override the QDS default question numbering?
Although QDS does assign default question numbers, there are several methods you can use to override this function. A question number has 3 parts: Prefix, Integer, and Suffix. For question number A1a, A=Prefix; 1=Integer; and a=Suffix. For each Data Element in your specifications, the Integer is determined automatically by QDS unless you override it with a Section Header Element or Format Element. The Prefix can be added optionally with a Section Header Element. The Suffix can be added optionally using the Data Element tab, Question Suffix box, and manipulated using the Increment Question Number Integer checkbox. Go to Tools|Validate to view the updated question numbering.
