A Classification item asks participants to place elements into the appropriate file folder. This item type can offer anywhere from 2 to 6 file folders. You can choose either text or image formats for the elements to be filed and the titles of their respective folders.

At the top and bottom of the page, you can use the Save button to save the information you have entered, Cancel if you choose not to save the new information, and Preview to see how the item will appear when published. This last command allows you to see the item exactly as it will appear to participants.

Note that when you add an item to the library of a given project for which you have invited people to collaborate with you, this item will also be available for them to consult or modify as needed. In addition, if one of the collaborators modifies an item, the modified version of the item will appear in all of the questionnaires and assessments that use this item.

Three tabs are used to define the item: Content, Add-ons and Parameters.

CONTENT OF A CLASSIFICATION ITEM

The Content tab is used to define what makes up the item. By default, a Classification item includes two file folders.

Item title

The item title is the same as the question title. This is the title displayed for participants and in the Title column in the list of items.

Item type

The item type is Classification.

Question text

Enter the instruction that will be shown to participants. Use the editing tools as needed.

Step 1 – DEFINING THE FILE FOLDERS

There is a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 folders. The folder types are: 

• Image/Image
• Image/Text
• Text/Image
• Text/Text

The first word of the pair describes the sort of label used for the folder titles (using images or text), whereas the second determines whether the elements to be filed will be images or texts. If you want your titles to be in Text format, write the title in the input field. If you want your titles to be in Image format, you can use an image file already saved in your library (see how) or import a new file from another source (see how).

Feedback

Enter the text for the corresponding feedback. 

Step 2 – ADDING ELEMENTS TO THE FILE FOLDERS

A file folder image is shown with a title in text or image format, depending on what was chosen. Place in each of the file folders the elements that participants should put in those folders.

To add an element, click on Add an element. This will display a new element in the file entitled Element without text. Click on this text to display the information concerning the element. Enter the text for the element, and then enter the corresponding feedback.

Feedback for each folder

Enter the text for the corresponding feedback. This feedback will be more specific than the feedback associated with the file folders, because it will be specific to the element itself.

To remove elements:

Choose the corresponding checkbox and click on Delete the selected elements or Delete this element above the editing zone for the element.

ADD-ONS FOR A CLASSIFICATION ITEM
