Creating a “Block To Call”

Once you have created a Call Block, a “Block To Call” node can be inserted into the questionnaire tree at the point at which the routine it contains is required. To do this, right-click in the tree at the desired position and choose the “Block To Call” node for insertion or by dragging it from the new objects pane.

Figure 1 - Inserting a Block To Call node

On creating the “Block To Call” node, a properties pane opens with a name field and a drop-down list titled “Block To Call”. A name is provided by default but you can edit this as required. In the Block To Call drop-down list, select the appropriate Call Block (in this case the one created previously, named “Block1”).

Figure 2 - Selecting the “Block To Call”

The properties are as follows:

• Name - The name of the block. By default the blocks will be named CallBlockX where X is the number in which it was created. You can rename the block as desired.
• Order - The order in which the elements within the block are to be presented to the respondent. Click the down-arrow beside the field and select the desired order from the list.
  Note that this property only applies to the objects inside the selected block.
• Deleted - If the block has been deleted from the tree and you wish to reinstate it, undelete it by un-checking the box.
