Question Character display length

It would be nice to be able to use this common term in the multi-choice questions but unless you tern randomization off it does not make any sense. I have resorted to using the term "none of these answers" but again when it terns up as the first option in list of five choices it doesn’t read very well.

False, the Weighbridge staff may give you instruction but the Dispatcher is the person immediately responsible when you are in the dispatch area

I have found that some of my questions that are similar in construction begin with exactly the same sentence and therefore when I am looking at the QWT results I cannot tell what question is what. So if I drill into a candidates results to see what question it was that they got wrong....I currently have a 1 in 3 chance of getting it right because 3 questions in the one quiz start with the exact same question sentence. QWT truncates each question and only seems to display about 60 characters from each question.

Could we get the same display as you currently have (truncated to 60 characters) but then display the full question if your mouse hovers over it.

I know in the past I have asked for unique question ID numbers but I think this feature combined with question numbers would be the most ideal.

Hi Adam,

QW does truncate the question text to a managable length to identify the question. This is done at compilation time, so by the time the results get to QWT, the full question title is not available for display.

One way to avoid this is to use Metadata for each question - this allows you to specify the exact title for the question and this title is used throughout the reporting.

Metadata for each question? Is that a feature for Standard QW or just Pro?

Ah, that's right the question metatdata is only available in the Professional version.
