After you choose to create a new question, the following window will appear. Double click on window name to maximize / minimize it. Choose a name, location and type of your question and add response labels.
Select the Group under which this new question will be listed. The default place for the UDQ is the User defined questions section at the end of the Questions list.
Choose "Default weight for a dataset" or if you need you can select "Follow the preference of another question." This second option indicates that the weight applied to your question will automatically match the weight used by the selected reference question. This ensures that the same weighing is applied to your question as well as the question you are referring to.
Keep this UDQ as a permanent entity by checking the "Keep permanently" box. This will ensure you can use this newly created question outside of this report.
