Hi,
On my laptop (windows) version of the questionnaire form there are a few instructions to questions which are in the format of text boxes (e.g. "the next 10 questions are about the services you used during your recent pregnancy").
On my Android device these text boxes don't appear. How can I make them appear?
Many thanks,
Claudia

Hello Claudia,
You have to use CAPI mode and add the instructions on the position of your question.
When you develope with CSPRO for Android device, only you can see the name of item (question) and the text of CAPI Mode.

Similarly sometimes it is useful to add a "dummy" question to your application to display instructions. You put the instruction in the question text in CAPI mode as Hannes suggests but instead of putting it in with the text for one of the other questions you make it a question by iteslf. Create a dummy variable in the dictionary, add it to the form and put the instruction in the question text. Add a value set with only one option, "continue", as the only response. When you get to your dummy question, the interviewer will see the instruction and then tap "continue" to move the next question.
