Figure 2 - The Distribution Mask tab
Click the Masking field to open a drop-down list of the options, then select the desired option from the list. The options are:
- Show all - includes all the items you have selected in the Category Masking tab.
- Hide all - hides all the items you have selected in the Category Masking tab.
- Show Specified Codes - shows the codes you have specified (see below).
- Hide Specified Codes - hides the codes you have specified (see below).
If you choose either “Show Specific Codes” or “Hide Specific Codes” from the drop-down menu, you must specify codes in the open text field that appears. Each code specified must match the corresponding code used for that question in the questionnaire tree.
- Formulas First - if this option is selected, then any formulas will be calculated before the mask is applied. This will be required if you need to include the masked values in a formula calculation.
