Adding Other Specify Response Codes

Other specify response codes can be added to single or multiple response FLD questions in the Question Editor. When adding Other Specify response codes, they will automatically be added to the bottom of the list regardless of whether you are rotating the list or not. To add an Other Specify response, click the check box next to the Add ‘Other (specify)’ Response. By default, code ’96’ Other will be created. If you want to define your own text, type your text in the text box labeled (Other Text).

  2. Navigate to the question where you want to add the Other Specify to your response list and click on it.
  3. Click the Add Other (specify) Response check box to automatically add an Other Specify code to the bottom of your response list.
  4. To define your own text, type your text in the text box labeled (Other Text).
  5. You must click the Update Question Details button to save your changes.
  6. To start a new question, click the Start Button button.
