• Title: Specifies the screen's name. Note: Unless a screen is the result of a merge, we recommend that you leave the default name given to the screen by askiadesign, which is the ShortCut of the variable on the screen.
• Background colour: Specifies this screen's background colour.

• Foreground colour: Specifies this screen's foreground colour.

• ADP/bitmap: Specifies a resource which will be inserted in this screen. This option was formerly known as multimedia. In the drop-down list, you can specify the position of the resource.

• Sub-form: If selected, activates sub-forms on this screen.

• Max nr of sub-forms: Specifies the maximum number of sub-forms the screen will display. For example, if the maximum number of sub-forms is five, and the screen's variable will iterate 15 sub-forms during data-entry, the screen will be presented during data-entry as a succession of three identical screens, each displaying its respective five sub-forms. You can specify the Shortcut of a numeric question to base the max items on the data captured at that question.

• Tab order: Specifies the direction the cursor will follow when the Interviewer or respondent [active on Web?] presses tab on the keyboard to move between cells.

• Shift controls upwards: Ensures that controls will be shifted upwards.

• Visualise inactive controls: Ensures that, during data-entry, the system will display all the cells of a variable, even when one or more of these is routed out.

• Toolbar:

  • Position: specifies the position of the Interviewer toolbar on screens.

  • Colour: Specifies the toolbar's background colour.

• Multimedia: Specifies a resource that will be inserted in the screen's toolbar. In the drop-down list, you can specify the position of the resource.
