XXXXXX

To edit certain details you can:

  • Click into the related cell
  • Edit the text
  • Press return -> results will be saved and a "All changes saved" messages appears for 2-3 seconds on top

If you have accidentally clicked into a cell just press "Esc" to leave the cell.

Things to watch out for

  • Make sure to only enter valid values at the appropriate cells, e.g. the "Mandatory" flag of a question can only be "Y" or "N".
  • The question ID is not editable.
  • For question text and help text the raw text including HTML will be shown. Edit those details carefully and only change/add HTML tags if you know what you are doing. Wrong edits can mess up these texts.
