General Description
|
Grid scale question is created by gathering two or grid scale questions. Unlike other grid types a grid scale question can both have individual min and max allowed numbers and individual min and max labels. Only thing that needs to be the same across scale grids are the choice of discreet or continuous scale (please see help file on scale question import for more information). An example could be two questions “How well do you like meat pie?” and “How well do you like Pizza?”, and each of them have min and max from e.g. 1 to 5. We can in reality see each part of a grid question as a scale question – or what we also call sub question. As such there is no difference in importing to a scale question as importing to a sub-question of a scale-grid question. All rules that apply for a scale question are exactly the same as for a sub-question

Business Rules
|
- If you specify this scale question as discrete and the step is 0.5, then 1.5 will be accepted and 3.175 will not be allowed because it is out of the range of value, and System will raise an error message to this value.
- 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 “YouLike” and we want to import to the question “How well do you like Pizza?” (Which is the second sub-question) then the column header must be “YouLike_SQ_2”.
- Sub questions of grid questions cannot have half open options.

Validation
|
- Number must be a real number. If strings or illegal characters 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).
- You put in a real number value as ‘1.55’ to the discrete scale question and the step is 0.5 then this is also not valid. Although in this case, 1.5 is a valid value to be imported. Error type: ERROR (the import job will not be allowed to be executed).
- The value imported must be in the minimum and maximum range else the system will raise an out of range error message. Error type: ERROR (the import job will not be allowed to be executed).
