Survey Editor

The Survey Editor allows to create Survey Input Data which later can be used in survey applications built with the Carousel. It provides a graphical and "standard" editor for creating/editing questions, answers, rules, etc. The data can be stored either in files or database tables. The editor can be launched as a Netbeans plugin or standalone application. The following steps show how to use the both types of editors to build a sample survey. In the example the graphical editor is used to create rules and conditions.

The video of the editor can be seen here.

Adding rules and conditions

A Condition is a question with certain answers to it, Rule is a set of conditions. Rules can be "attached" to question groups and lead to other groups when answers given by the user match the answers contained in a rule (i.e. answering married to question about the "marrital status" can lead to questions abouth wife/husband). More information on how to define and use the survey rules can be found here.

• Click on the editor button in a toolbar.
• Right-click on the group to which you want to attach a new rule and select the add new rule option from the popup menu.
• Drag the question, to which you want to specify answers, on the new rule.
• Right-click on the dragged question, select show edit panel from the popup menu and specify the answers.
• From the popup menu select the change target option and specify the question group which the rule will lead to.
