Figure 1 - The Item Editor drop-down menu
The options in this menu allow you to activate or deactivate additional functionality:
- Syntax highlighting in editors - the Syntax Highlighter functionality automatically color-codes key words, and provides lists of selectable options under specific conditions while scripting. Note that this option only applies to Survey Designer, and the Disable Script Highlighting option in the User Settings overlay (go to User Settings for more information) applies only to Professional Authoring.
When viewing and editing questions, it may be useful to hide irrelevant fields. Or you may just not want to use specific fields in your survey. These selections apply to all editing areas, including individual question editing, multi-editing and the Translate tab (go to Translating Questions for more information). By hiding a field the contents are not deleted, you are just freeing up space on your screen. The following three options allow you to show or hide the various fields for the survey questions.
- Titles - select to show the question Title fields.
- Texts - select to show the question Text fields.
- Instructions - select to show the question Instructions fields.
- Advanced answer settings - check this box to display additional setup options for the survey questions’ answers. When this box is checked, the additional options will be displayed for all question types where they are available (go to Advanced Answer Settingsfor more information).
