<\/a>Question styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Snap XMP Desktop, you add questions and notes to create your questionnaire. There are a number of pre-defined question types, referred to as question styles. The styles differ in their appearance and type of response. The styles appear different for different outputs, for example, a web questionnaire will look different to a paper questionnaire for scanning, even though the styles have the same names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a large number of different question styles supplied with Snap XMP. They are all available for use in Snap XMP Desktop. We have developed a sample questionnaire that shows the different question styles. You can use this questionnaire<\/a> to see how the questions behave in a live interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
