Flagging Dictionary Edits Applying Them To Other Questions
After edits are made to the question’s dictionary, the question can be flagged for reuse. The edits can then be applied to other questions.
In addition to the edits that may include response label, stat value, or code changes, when applying edits from a flagged question, the following will also be included if applicable:
-
-

-
Definition of the calculation base
After making edits to a question’s dictionary, to flag the question for reuse, expand the 3-dot menu in the upper-right corner and select the Flag Edits for Reuse option.
A dialog window will appear to allow naming the flag.
By default, the question’s name and a “Flagged dictionary” suffix will be used.
After confirming and saving, a flag icon and the name of the flag will appear at the top of the header to indicate that this dictionary has been assigned and flagged for reuse.
Next, select a different question with similar dictionary structure to apply the dictionary edits.
Expand the 3-dot menu in the upper-right corner and select the Apply Edits From option.
The available edited dictionary flag(s) will be listed.
Select the flag to apply.
If the flag also has a calculation base associated with it, there is a setting to also apply the basing.
In this example, after the dictionary edits were applied, the question type was changed from category to numeric.
Also, the stat values were updated to reflect the new values of the edited dictionary.
Note: If or when the dictionary of a flagged question changes, any questions that the edits are applied to will also be updated to reflect the latest changes.
Questions with errors cannot be flagged for reuse.
