General Description

Grid multi question is created by gathering two or more multi questions that all have the same answer options and putting them into one grid. An example could be two questions “What countries have you lived in?” and “What countries have you travelled to?”, and both of them have answer options Denmark and Sweden. We can in reality see each part of a grid question as a multi question – or what we also call sub question. As such there is no difference in importing to a multi question as importing to a sub-question of a multi-grid question. All rules that apply for a multi question are exactly the same as for a sub-question.

Business Rules

  • To auto-map to a sub-question you must name your excel column the same as the grid-question + '_SQ_' +the index of the sub-question afterwards. Indexes start from 1 and upwards. If the above example of a grid was called “LiveTravel” and we want to import to the question “What countries have you lived in?” (Which is the first sub-question) then the column header must be “LiveTravel_SQ_1”.
  • Sub questions of multi grid questions cannot have half open options.

Validation

  • String must consist of only 0s and 1s. If other number/characters than 0 and 1 are found in a column an error will be given during validation. Error type: ERROR (the import job will not be allowed to be executed).
  • The number of characters in the string must exactly match the number of possible answer options in the question else an error message stating ‘invalid length’ will be shown and System will give the advice on how many characters are required in this question. Error type: ERROR (the import job will not be allowed to be executed).
