You must have the 'Content manager' profile to access and modify the Web masters in your group.

Setting the MCQ answers

Below are the possible settings for an answer: 

• Pre-checked answer: do you want this answer to be pre-checked? 
• Delete answer: to delete the answer.
• Provides the context: to indicate the keyword of the content that will be brought into the master.
• Exclusion condition: to indicate incompatibilities between MCQ answers. 
• Merge fields: to configure merge fields in the MCQ.

Pre-check answer

You can suggest a default answer to the user by ticking 'Pre-checked answer'. Users should untick this box if they do not wish to add this content to their document.

Defining display conditions (context)

Display conditions allow you to:

• Link your MCQ to the content of your master's course.
• Condition questions so that they only appear if an answer has been ticked.

You must define a keyword for each answer; this keyword will also be entered:

• In the Word Processor so that the relevant part is displayed when the answer is ticked by the user. 
• In the properties of the question conditioned by this answer. Read the full article here: How to set the parameters for the MCQ questions in a Web master?

To set the context of the answers:

1. Type your keyword in the 'Provides the context' field, then click 'Enter'.
2. If you have already created the keywords in your word processor, just type the first few letters to get a suggestion.
3. The keyword will then appear in grey in the right-hand column and framed in purple in the central section, opposite the associated answer.

NB: To avoid creating duplicates, we advise you not to use capitals and accents for your conditions.

Defining the conditions for exclusion (incompatibilities)

Exclusion conditions:

• Allow you to make several answers in your MCQ incompatible.
• They can concern several answers to the same question or several answers to different questions.

To set the exclusion conditions:

• In the 'Exclusion condition' field, select the keyword of the incompatible answer.
• The keyword then appears in grey in the right-hand column and framed in red in the central section, opposite the incompatible answer.

For example, here we have set up the following incompatibilities:

• If I tick answer ‘Short term rental’, I won't be able to tick ‘Long term rental’. 
• If I tick answers ‘Long term rental’ AND ‘Purchase of vehicles’, I will not be able to tick answer ‘Short term rental’.
• If I tick answer ‘Short term rental’, I will be able to tick answer ‘Purchase of vehicles’.

Creating merge fields

Merge fields can be used to create user-customizable fields for a master.

To set up merge fields, see the full article: How to create/modify a merge field in the Questionnaire? 

Changing the order of answers

In the central section, click on the arrows next to the answer you want to move:

• Top arrow, to move the answer up a notch.
• Down arrow, to move the answer down one notch.

Delete a response

1. In the right-hand column, select the response you wish to delete.
2. Click on 'Delete the answer'.
3. The question is deleted and will no longer appear in the MCQ. The deletion is permanent.

Note: Remember to save your changes by clicking the 'Save' button in the left-hand column when taking any action in the MCQ.
Automatic saving is not available.
