Editing the Questionnaire Text Element

The header on a report page will normally display text to give the report viewer an indication of what the page contains. A simple method of achieving this will often be to include the question text from the survey page from which the data to be presented on the report page is taken. In this case we will use the text from the Favorite question.

1. If necessary, right-click on the page name in the Report toolbox and choose Edit, or double click on the page name, to open the Page Editor.
2. Drag the appropriate question (in this case q7) from the Data Source toolbox on the left, and drop it on the Questionnaire Text element .

Note: You can drag an Info node from the Data Source into a Questionnaire Text element to display the full text from that node in the report page.

3. Right-click on the Questionnaire Text element and choose Properties .

A property box appears enabling you to select the “look and feel” of this element .

4. Select the Style and Type of text as required, then click Apply.

Note: You can also link a Reportal report to a Survey Layout in Forsta Authoring, and use the HTML styles from the Survey Layout (go to Selecting a Survey Layout for more information).

Remember to save your work frequently. A yellow border will blink around the Save button when Reportal detects unsaved changes.
