Formatting

Post by Nikola »

Hello. I've tried to script CSpro as similar to a paper questionnaire when we see it on a computer monitor screen (not a tablet screen for now).
Would it be possible to script question B05 in the format of the paper questionnaire on the CSPro application? Please see the attached.

Best regards,
J

The closest you can come to this is to join your two columns. Hold down the ctrl key and left click on the two columns you show below (total and female), then right-click and choose the option to join. CSPro will prompt you as to what you want the heading (title) to be. That's when you would enter the "B05 <foreign text> Household member" bit. It'll stack the two fields overtop one another.

Within the heading area of the roster, grab onto the right side of the column and drag it right to widen the column width (this presumes you have any columns to the right of the joined columns. If you don't, you need to grab onto the roster itself to widen it, then grab onto the column).

Next move the data entry boxes to the bottom of the area. Right-click within the merged-cell area and select "Add text". Note whatever text you add will ALWAYS go to the upper left column, regardless of where you click, so type in the "Female" text first and choose whether you want it to appear in just this cell or the entire column, and hit return. Then select the "Female" text and drag it to the right side of the merged area. Do the same again for the "Total" text entry. This is as close as you will be able to come to what you have below.
