Questionnaire Components

Sections Any questionnaire created with this designer tool consists of sections and must have at least one section. Every section can in turn contain one or more: Sub-sections, Question, Roster, Static Text, and Variables. Sub-sections Subsections can contain one or more static-texts, questions, other sub-sections and rosters. They are used to group a set of questions related to a specific topic.
