As you build your Study, there may be additional options to add a little magic to how your data is analysed. Next to every Item you’ll see the vertical three dots – the ellipsis menu. Click on that to display your menu options.
– Note: some menu options are only available for Survey Items.
GLOBAL MENU
Copy (Once) / Copy Item
Why recreate the wheel when you can simply copy it? A great tool if the difference between items is only minor.
TIMER SPECIFIC MENU
Add a Tag Item (RetroTag only)
Add items to be included within the specific RetroTag group
Add a Popup Item (Popup only)
Add a Counter, General Timer or Note timer within the specific Popup group
SURVEY SPECIFIC MENU
Add Answer | Adds another answer option to your survey question. Once clicked a new field will appear for you to type/paste your required answer option.
Use Answer Set | There are many frequently used answer sets and instead of you having to type them all out, why not have a list you can select from!:
Agreement Scale | With options to have 2, 3, 5 or 7 answer options, this will display “agree/disagree” scales, based on the number of options you require
Number Scale | With options to have 5 or 10 answer options, this will display a numeric scale based on the number of options you require. Great for ‘ranking’ type questions.
Rating Scale | With options to have 4 or 6 answer options, this will display “excellent/poor” scales, based on the number of options you require
Satisfaction Scale | With options to have 5, 6, 7 or 9 answer options, this will display “satisfied/unsatisfied” scales, based on the number of options you require
*NOTE: All Answer sets have Property settings which help graphing requirements later in the Study journey. These are automatically adjusted to the specific answer to ensure optimal graphing capabilities.
Copy (Many) | A great option when you have multiple questions utilising the same answer set. Type/paste all questions, one per line, that are to have the same answer set. Hit Copy when you’re finished and your study template with populate with all your new questions.
