The question/field Definition properties let you assign a unique and internal ID that can be used to automatically populate information. This can be done as a tie to your EX or external database or to another question/field on your form. You can also select the type of question/field being added to the form, which controls additional question/field settings, enter text to be associated with the question, include the question in a group, and associate it with a group of questions.

The target collection grid for this question. When a grid is associated with a question, the question becomes an input device, but the values cannot be referenced in a one-to-one database insert. Mapping becomes the responsibility of the associated grid. |

The role this question should play in relation to the collection grid. Key indicates that each row value should be unique in reference to this field or group of fields. When multiple rows are marked as key, the combination of those column values must make the row unique. Summary displays the input result as a column in the grid. Detail indicates the value should be collected, but not immediately displayed to the end user. Add Button is reserved for the button object that will transfer the data from the source question to the target grid. |
