Run Questionnaire

Once you have setup all questions the way you need them, the rater can start the rating any time needed:

You can start a previously created Questionnaire like this:

Choose Additional - Advanced - Questionnaire Btn_Questionnaires > Execute Questionnaire.

If the questionnaire was properly stored within the Questionnaires folder, as described in Store Questionnaires, it appears in the menu:

Select the questionnaire of your choice to run it.

If you have stored the questionnaire elsewhere:

Use the Additional - Advanced - Questionnaire Btn_Questionnaires > Execute Questionnaire>Select... command.

Select the questionnaire file that starts the rating routine, within the default Open dialog.

Confirm with Open.

A new empty DataSet labeled "[Q] <name_of_current_questionnaire>" is created.

The first question of the selected questionnaire form appears.

Depending on how you specified your Questionnaire to be run, you either receive a dialog per Question or a list with all questions is shown right from the start:

Questionaire_Q_Rater Questionaire_Q_Rater_allQuestions

Answer the question and click on the Arrow at the bottom right corner to continue.

INTERACT now presents each question one after another.

After the last question in a questionnaire form, a result dialog shows you all answers to the questions:

questionnaire_ResultDialog

You can save these results into an external text or Excel file right from within this dialog.

Additionally, the data is entered into your INTERACT data file within the new [Q]... DataSet and can look something like this:

questionnaire_Results

This [Q] at the start of those DataSet description serves as an indicator that this DataSet contains Survey data. These Sets are ignored by the general data analysis.

This indicator is important for the Questionnaire- Export routine, because only DataSets with this prefix in the DataSet description will be exported, leaving additional DataSets that contain observational Codes untouched.

Note: The time value, that is currently visible in the Observation Controls, is used as a Marker for each of the question based events.
