About groups Groups, as opposed to “repeat groups” are used to: – Group other questions so you can apply a relevance rule to all of the questions at once – Show multiple questions on a single screen of the phone or tablet © Smap Consulting Pty Ltd29 1. Begin and end of group 2. Unique name 3. Optional Label, appears at Top of every screen within group

Exercise 5. Groups Applying a relevance rule to multiple questions – Add a “consent” question at the front of your survey – Add a group around your other questions – Add a relevance to the group so that it is only relevant if the answer to the consent question is ‘yes’ Putting questions on the screen – Create a group around some questions – Add an appearance of field-list to that group © Smap Consulting Pty Ltd31
