How do I number questions such as, 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4, etc. for my paper questionnaire?
You can check the Increment Question Number Integer box on the Data Element tab to force QDS to assign a larger integer for an element than for the preceding element (e.g., 2, 3a, 3b) by: 1) adding the Suffix letters a and b to the respective Elements to be numbered 3a and 3b in the Question Suffix box on the Data Element tab; and 2) checking the Increment Question Number Integer box on the Data Element tab for the Element to be numbered 3a. Go to Tools|Validate to view the updated question numbering.
