Exporting questionnaires

If you import a questionnaire that you have exported, the system automatically overwrites only the questions, which are contained in the imported file. This is done to prevent from duplicating the existing questions in a questionnaire.

Information
Example

If a questionnaire has five entries with equal weight (20% each) and the imported file has four entries with equal weight (25% each) and all the four entries match with the entries of the target instance, then the system overwrites these four entries with the weight of 25% each and leaves the fifth entry with the weight of 20%. You have to manually re-balance the questionnaire.
 Similarly, if a questionnaire contains four entries and the imported file contains five entries, the system overwrites the first four entries (if they match) and adds the fifth entry into the questionnaire.

  1. In the Questionnaires window of the Administration interface, select the check boxes for the records that you want to export, and then click Export.

     The system saves the file, which contains the version number of the product and the data object type in its header.
