Level question structure

QSlevel

Used for the level or grade of something

• use where assumption can be that higher level is better
• needs a single dimension (e.g. competence)
• needs a defined set of levels, or to use a predefined level scheme

question attributes:

• QTitle: @lang; e.g. "Level of ..." the dimension
• QDescrip: @lang; explanation of what the dimension means, or how to assess it
• EITHER: QScheme: predefined level scheme
• OR QNI: number of items, and for each level item:
• QItemShort: short item text @lang
• QItemLong: long item text @lang

Wants and answers:

• Wants and answers are both coded as bit patterns: first item shown is 1, next is 10, etc.
• For wants, interface gives a check box for each item. When a level is checked, the interface fills all the above levels also. When a level is unchecked, and there are checked levels above it, all levels below are unchecked.
• Only one answer is possible, so interface gives radio buttons for the items.
