The question line item grid structure is configurable, normally with the following fields:

 

The required fields are noted with an asterisk (*).

 

Item No.*: The number of the question line item.  You can input numbers or other characters.  It will be automatically generated by the system in the format: parent number + "." + current sequential number. (Please note that the "." is the reserved character to represent the parent-sub hierarchy, so do not use it for input character.)

 

Question Description: The content of the question.  When you click the grid column to enter editing mode, a dialog will pop up for you to input long sentences.

 

 

Below operations are available to manage the question line items in the grid:

 

     Click the Decrease / Increase Indent icon i_left@18x16 i_right@18x16  to change the parent-sub hierarchy of the selected line items in the grid.  Their Item No. will be changed automatically by the system.

 

     Click the Up / Down icon i_up@18x16 i_down@18x16 to change the sequences of the selected line items in the grid.  They can only be moved within the same hierarchy level.

 

     Click the Add i_add@18x16 icon to add a new line item at the bottom of the gird by default, or select an existing line item to add a new line item after it.

 

     Click the Delete icon i_delete@18x16  to delete any selected line items in the grid.  If a parent line item has been deleted, all its sub line items will be deleted as well.
