These questionnaires types are discussed in the Questionnaires page.

List of Questionnaire Fills

This section shows a list of all questionnaire that the participant has already filled and the ones that the participant still has to answer.

../../_images/participant_questionnaires_entrance_evaluation.png

In this list you see 3 different fields per line:

  • Questionnaire - the name of the questionnaire;

  • Fills - the date that the participant filled the questionnaire (default value is the date you started giving the answers);

  • Message - this is an indicator that informs if the participant filled the questionnaire. The message is yellow if the questionnaire is incomplete and still has to be filled, and it is green if the participant completely filled the questionnaire at least once.

As an example, in the image above, you see 2 questionnaires:

  • the first questionnaire has 3 fills, the first two fills are completed and the third is incomplete

  • the second questionnaire has not been filled before, so there is no information of fills, but the message that informs a lack of fill (in yellow).

Viewing a Questionnaire

If the questionnaire is completely filled (green message), the Fills field becomes a link that takes you to the screen that shows the answers given by the participant.
