Recording blood pressure and restricting sequential questions

Hi ,
I want to recorcd blood pressure and visual acuity. I currently make my
forms using the xls template and use the integer question type but this
does not allow me to input a / mark that would be required for proper
response formatting for blood pressure. Is there a better question type i
should be using or something I can add to the form to allow / marks? Also,
I want to be able to ask a series of questions and if the answer to the
first question is no then restrict the user to not be able to answer the
next few questions. what is the best way to do this? Can anyone point me in
the right direction. Thanks for all the help!
Cheers,
newbie Sarah

Hi Sarah,
There are a few things you could do to record blood pressure. One would be
to make two integer fields, one for systolic pressure and one for diastolic
pressure. Another option would be to use a text field with a regular
expression constraint to ensure the input is formatted the way you want.
You can create a series of conditional questions by placing them inside
group with a relevance column. For more information on the relevance column
check out our XLSForm documentation:
