Help Manual for a specific Question

Post by samuelhaniel »

Dear all,

I would like to display a detailed information for that specific question. For example when the interviewer is asking about age, when i tab F1 or help on cspro capi, detailed info pops up about that particular question. How you i go about it?

Thank you,
Samuel

Are you wanting to add help text that is different from the question text? If so, this is a feature that exists:

https://www.csprousers.org/help/CSPro/c ... tures.html
Help text: A help shortcut (F2 on desktop or the ? button on mobile) can bring up customized help information for each field.
Multiple languages are supported for both question and help text.

To learn more about question text, I suggest that you look at the workshop materials, specifically the CAPI Features section:

https://csprousers.org/mobile-workshop/05-capi.html

Note that the workshop materials are a bit old and fills now use ~~ instead of %. For example, where it says:
Est-ce que %NAME% est masculin ou feminin?
With the latest versions of CSPro, it should be:
Est-ce que ~~NAME~~ est masculin ou feminin?

Thanks,
I know to use question text with Instructions in cspro. I am saying How do you put some additional(from Interviewer's manual) a little bit details about the specific question. Do i need to add as a separate language say Help_manual in the capi language. when interviewers want to read some info about the specific question, they just change the language to Help_manual...is it? Is there a better way using onkey...

Thanks,
Samuel
