Write to Data File (Questionnaire Files)

QuickInfo

By checking this field, data will be written to the data file. When the value is unchecked, MediaLab will not write a value for this variable to the data file and will not include the variable name in the data input file. See data for more details.

For item types that do not gather input data, the response "ok" is written to the data file to confirm that the item was presented (e.g., as opposed to being skipped). If this type of information is of no interest, simply uncheck the Write to Data File field. You may also wish not to write data from practice trials and so forth.
