Overview - Appearance

The Appearance configuration page enables you to customize the look and feel of a questionnaire. All of the settings that you make can be saved as a named Scheme which can then be recalled (loaded) and applied to other projects.

Note: Appearance settings are ignored when the questionnaire is deployed under CAPI-Mobile.

The page is divided into two sections. The upper part allows you select an item and to configure the settings of any of its properties. The lower part displays the items in a "survey" window as they will look according the current state of the settings.

Appearance Menu

The screen-shot below shows the Appearance page once the Edit button in its title bar has been clicked. The Title bar shows that you can Accept or Cancel any changes that you make to the Appearance; it also provides access to both the Schemes manager and the Images manager.

Note: The display is only an approximation of how the scheme will appear. To view the actual presentation of the survey it should be viewed by Testing the survey (questionnaire).
