A ‘
schedule
’ is a list of schedule entries, each with a time and day, that tell the
diary to do something at that time. These may prompt the user, or simply make
available a user-requested questionnaire during a given period. They may also
apply to ‘every Tuesday’ or ‘every weekday’ rather than a specific day.
It will be easiest to set up your first test recording using one of the example
schedules provided, rather than having to create your own first.
4.2 Questions
There are eight types of questions:
Multiple choice
Visual analogue
Enter a number
Enter a time
Just a message
List
Free Text
Likert Scale
All types include a main ‘question’ message, but a selection of different answer
mechanisms.
Multiple Choice
For ex
ample: “Which fruit do you prefer?”, with possible answers of “Apples”,
“Oranges”, or “Other”.
Each question has 1-8 answers. The user positions the slider directly by tapping
or dragging, and the chosen answer is taken from this. The currently selected
answer is displayed at the bottom of the screen just above the slider bar. This is
the easiest way to question the user for up to around 5-6 answers, but above that
the list may be less fiddly to operate.
