About the question list
The question list allows you to view and manage your QMob projects. To open the question list, simply open a project; the list of questions in the project is displayed:
From here, you can create, edit and delete questions in your project. You can place questions into folders in order to keep them organized, or to control the order in which they are presented during the interview. For information on question folders, see working with folders.
The order in which the questions appear in the list determines the sequence in which they will be presented during the interview. Simply drag and drop the questions and folder into the order in which you want them to appear.
Adding a question
To add a question to your project:
- At the bottom of the question list, click add question.
- In the drop-down list, select the question type.
