Information

Questionnaires are often created in Word. To make your life easier, you can use those questionnaires as templates for your answer options and scales in EFS.

This is how it's done: 

• Create a new question 

• Copy the question text from your word template and insert the question text in the question text container 

• Copy the answer options from your word template, scroll to the answer dimensions and press the button "Paste from Word"

• Paste the answer options into the text box, and each single row will become exactly on answer option.

• Confirm and save the question 

• Delete the preset answer option and save it again.

The same procedure will work with scales.
