Position (Questionnaire Files)

QuickInfo

Identifies the order in which items are presented in the questionnaire.

Values

Any number. Decimal values are allowed.

Purpose

This field determines the order of the items in the Questionnaire File. MediaLab will automatically sort the items in the Questionnaire File by these values when you close the file. You can also manually sort the items at any time using the Sort button.

Hints

To add a new item between two existing items (e.g., 2 and 3), assign it a position value between the values of the two existing items (e.g., 2.5) and then click the Sort button. After sorting, you can automatically renumber all of your items as sequential integers by clicking the Renumber button.
