Additional columns in a table using field-list

Hi everyone,

I am trying to do a very simple table/matrix question in SurveyCTO which has 12 select_one questions in the rows and 3 columns: one for the question, and an additional two for other questions. Essentially I am trying to get responses for 2 questions for each month of the year. Table-list is working for me with only 2 columns, but how do I add an extra column for the additional question?

Thanks very much for your help,

Wendy

Hi Wendy,

If you post your request to us through our online support center
http://support.surveycto.com, we can link you straight to the appropriate
help topic and sample form.

I will say, though, that SurveyCTO and ODK allow for tables of select_one
or select_multiple options -- where column 1 has questions and columns 2-x
have a common set of choices -- but not tables that also contain other
field types. So, for example, you can't have a table that includes
open-response text fields. We get a lot of requests for that and have it on
our roadmap to add, but we haven't gotten to it yet.

Best,

Chris

Thanks very much Chris. I will try that.

Just to clarify, I am fine with using a select_one field type in the table. What I'm trying to do is have three columns in the table, whereas the default with table-list is two columns (one for the question and one for the response).

(Also a side note to correct my error in the original post where I said field-list where I actually meant table-list).

Thanks,

Wendy

Dear Chris, Is this possible in xlsform? Thank you for replying.

Hi Wendy,

Well, "field-list", combined with the "label" and "list-nolabel"
appearances, can get you where you want to go. Since I can't easily link
you directly to the help or sample form without your server name, please
take a look at the clip I took from the sample form's help topic, attached.

If you follow that method, there will automatically be one column for every
multiple-choice option.

Best,

Chris
