Temporary tables
The following information needs to be extracted from the questionnaire.
Please find the explanation for Archivist Elements
- Sequence
- Statement
- Question item
- Question grid
- Code list
- Response
- Condition
- Loop
The table structure and example are given below, but please see https://gitlab.com/jli755/archivist_insert_workaround/-/tree/master/template for the latest version.
The checklist will also help with finding any potential problems.
Naming
| Label | Starts With | Example | Label Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Statement | s_q | s_qQual | |
| Question item | qi_ | qi_Smoker | |
Question grid | qg_ | qg_Qual | |
| Code list | cs_ | cs_Yes_No | |
| Condition | c_q | c_qSmoker | Labelled after the question in the condition logic. If there isn't logic then it should be labelled after the first question inside the condition. In case of duplicated labels: c_qSmoker_i, c_qSmoker_ii etc. |
| Loop | l_q | l_qSmoker | Labelled after the first question inside the loop. |
- Branch in conditions 0 is true 1 is else. i.e. if the parent_type is condition, and it if a true branch, then branch = 0 for that question/statement ..
