h2. Creating Survey Screens

A simple survey screen can be added to an event by right clicking on any screen in the touchscreen editor and selecting “Add survey screen…” to display the add survey dialog:

survey_dialog

Select “Add checkbox” to add a checkbox to the survey screen and enter its id and caption. Select “Mandatory (checkbox must be selected)” to make the checkbox mandatory.

A set of up to three radio buttons can be added by selecting “Add radio buttons”. Enter the group name used to identify and group the radio buttons together and add captions for two or three buttons.

A text entry field and keyboard can be added by setting the “Text entry:” dropdown list to normal, autoemail or email, enter the id used to identify it and a caption to be displayed above the text entry field. Select “Mandatory (text field must not be empty)” to make the text entry field mandatory.

• Normal keyboard option → creates a keyboard suitable for free text input with upper/lower case characters, spaces and punctuation.
• Autoemail and Email keyboard options → create a keyboard with lower case characters and punctuation allowed in email addresses. – Autoemail is the same as Email except that the photos, GIF or video is automatically emailed after capture.

Click on the “…” button to the right of the screen background color preview to change the background color of the survey screen. The “opacity” setting can be used to set the opacity of the survey screen background from fully transparent (opacity=0) to fully opaque (opacity=1).

Click on “OK” to create the survey screen images and the XML file defining the inputs and actions. The appearance of the survey screens can be changed by editing them in an image editor such as Photoshop. The settings for the checkbox and radio buttons and the keyboard actions can be edited using the touchscreen editor.
