Creating and Editing Questionnaires
The Diary is set up using a combination of questions, questionnaires, and
schedules. It is easiest to familiarise yourself with these by exploring the
examples included with the PC software. After click
ing on ‘Edit Questionnaires’
in the main menu, you will be presented with the quick view window, as shown in
the example below. You can explore this tree by right-clicking or double clicking
on various items to get an idea of how the system operates.
4.1 Basic Concepts
It may be useful to clarify the terminology used in programming the Diary:
The diary presents the user with questions, either at specific times or when the
wearer requests it, and logs their answers.
‘
questions
’ are grouped together into
‘
questionnaires
’, and a ‘
schedule
’ instructs the diary when to offer each
questionnaire to the wearer.
A ‘
question
’ is the basic question presented to the wearer. It may be one of half
a dozen basic types, and includes the question itself and various optional
answers, or default settings for entering numbers, times, etc.
A ‘
questionnaire
’ is a sequence of questions. It may, optionally, include more
complicated instructions for skipping or jumping around in the sequence
depending on the answers to some questions.
