Overview

  • Question blocks are a method of repeating questions.
  • Question blocks themselves are not questions but are containers for regular questions that are to be repeated.

  • Question blocks can be linked in the same manner as a regular question.

  • In the example below:
    • Many differing products can be installed with various quantities
    • The block is titled question block.
    • Questions within the block are:
      • Which is to be installed?
      • How many are to be installed?
