Saving your Questionnaire Design as a Template

Step 1

Customise the questionnaire using the Topics menu. For example change the number of columns within certain questions, the font used, the style of the boxes, etc.

Step 2

Where questions have been customised, new unnamed styles will be created (they will be called 'like' a style name in the styles drop down list). You must name the unnamed styles, as otherwise they will not be included in the template.

Step 3

To name an unnamed style, select the question then switch to Style Mode .

Step 4

Select the Style Organiser button.

Step 5

Choose the button and name the new style, e.g. Multi Choice 2 Columns.

Step 6

Click in the Style Properties window and in the Style Organiser.

Step 7

Snap will rename all other styles that have had the same customisation applied to the new style name.

Step 8

Repeat the process for all unnamed styles.

Step 9

Click to return to Design Mode the newly named styles will be available in the Style Selection Box.

Step 10

In order to save as a template, select the Style Templates button .

Step 11

Click from the Template dialog box.

Step 12

Type in a File Name for the template e.g. House Style.

Step 13

Click and then

Step 14

The new template is now saved in the Styles folder that is accessed by clicking the Style Templates button . This will also include any new question styles that have been created in the questionnaire.

Step 15

This new template can now be applied to any questionnaire.
The following 3 options will determine how much of the template you wish to apply:

• Page Setup - portrait/ landscape, etc.
• Colours - the individual colour for the background/fonts/boxes, etc.
• Layout - the arrangement and format of individual styles of questions.

If all three options are selected, the entire format of the template will be loaded.
