Applicable Question Types

The following types of questions allow the survey author to show a label to the respondent and record a different value for processing:

• Choice
• Rank Order
• Rating Scale (aka Likert)
• Rubric

Authoring Labels and Values

Label and value can be input during initial question authoring. The syntax is label|value

Example,you would input:

Strongly agree|5
Agree|4
Unsure|3
Disagree|2
Strongly disagree|1

Label

Label can be any string, there is no requirement to be unique. HTML can be included for formatting.

Value

Typically, the value is an integer, but it need not be. Value is required to be unique, but not in any ordinal order.

Empty Values

Labels are allowed to be empty, this will present a blank to the user. For editing purposes, it may be desirable to input the HTML for a non-breaking space  

Values are allowed to be empty. If they are left empty during authoring, the corresponding Label value will be reported in the Detailed Report.

Correcting Errors

Questions that are created without values can be edited to add values.

Once data are collected, there is no mechanism to add values and have the report updated to reflect the editing.
