Editing the Mapping

1. In the Manage survey page of a manually mapped combined survey, click the View/edit mapping button.

   The View/Edit mapping page opens.

   
   Figure 1 - Example of the View/Edit mapping page for a combined survey

   This page displays the question in the combined survey in the first column. The other columns show the mapped questions in all the surveys in the combined survey.

   The Search & Filter field allows you to quickly find a particular question by searching for the question ID (The Search and Filter Field).

   To edit a mapping for a question:

2. Click the Action icon in the lower-right corner of the appropriate box to open a drop-down menu.

3. Click Edit question mapping.

   The Edit mapping to overlay opens.

   • The Not mapped questions tab lists all those questions in the survey that are of the same type as the question in the master survey and that have not yet been mapped. Here you can choose an unmapped question and map it to the question selected in the master survey (given in the upper-left corner of the overlay.

   • The All questions tab lists all the questions in the additional survey that are of the same type as the question in the master survey, whether or not they have been mapped. Here you can transfer a mapping that has been made automatically, from another question to the question selected in the master survey.

     Items in the list that according to the mapping rules match the current question have a green Suggested icon. If you select a Suggested item the icon changes to Suggested & mapped. Items that match the current question but are already mapped to another question have a gray Mapped icon. Items that according to the mapping rules do not match the current question have no icon.

     In the event the system cannot find any questions that match the criteria, you can view all the available questions and perhaps select one of those manually (Manual Mapping). If the problem could be that the answer lists don’t match, then you can change the Matching answer lists…​ option to Allow different answer lists…​.

     Note that a question can only be mapped once; if you transfer a mapping then the original mapping will be deleted.

     In the event the overlay lists a large number of questions, you can use the Search field to filter the list. Start typing the question ID into the field; as you type, the list will be filtered to include only those questions where the ID matches the typed characters.

4. When you have found the question you wish to map, select it and click Insert(Manual Mapping).

   You are returned to the Manage Survey page for the combined survey.

In the event you have mapped a question where the answer list doesn’t match the master, this will be indicated in the question box by a discrepancy in the number of answers mapped. You can now map the answers (Answer Mapping).
