Questions in Archivist is where the question text is entered and brought together with the relevant Response Domains. They can be Question Items or Question Grids. The response domain(s) and/or Code List(s) must be created before you can build a question, hence why this is not the first step in the process. Interviewer Instructions are attached to the question during the creation of the questions.

A question item is a representation of a single question in a questionnaire (made up of the question literal, label, response domain and optional instruction).
A question grid is a matrix of questions with overarching question text that all share the same possible answers.

Note that if the sub-questions have varying response domains (for example the code list is not the same across the sub-questions, or they cannot be entered as a grid) it is often best practice to use multiple question items. This is regardless of how many sub-questions/statements there are or how long the question items will be. The exception to this is 'breaking off' questions with a mixed response (usually code list plus a text answer) from a group of sub-questions. The sub-questions without a mixed response can be input as a grid. The mixed response sub-questions are added as separate questions below the grid. See break-off questions for more details.
