Organizing my items using categories

Although it is not mandatory for items to belong to a category, categories can help you organize your items.

Information about the categories is saved in the project’s Library and can be used to organize all the items of the project.

Commands that apply to categories, such as Duplicate or Print, work the same way they do for other components of Netquiz Web+.

List of categories

At the top of the Netquiz Web+ page, click on Library, and then, in the left‑hand menu beneath the title Library, click on My categories.

The columns in the list are as follows:

  • Code: Unique number given by Netquiz Web+ when the category is recorded.
  • Title: Name of the category.
  • Note: The content of this field is not visible in the published questionnaire. Notes can help you manage the content or work in collaboration with a colleague and categories that are marked “To be reviewed”, “To be completed”, “Check copyrights”, etc.).
  • Modification date: Date and time that the category was last saved.

Linking an item to a category

There are two ways to link an item to a category:

  • First, create categories for your items or assign a category when adding or modifying an item, under the Parameters tab. If the category has not yet been saved in the library, write a name for the new category in the Add a new category if needed field.

Managing categories

At the top of the Netquiz Web+ page, click on Library, and then, in the left‑hand menu beneath the title Library, click on My categories. This displays the list of categories.

On this page, you can add a new category, modify, duplicate, export, print or delete forms for categories.

When you move your cursor over the gear icon at the top left of the categories list, a menu appears showing the functions available for managing categories.
