Building a Picklist (Created using V11.1.7)

  • Click the "picklist" button (lower left).
  • Name the picklist and click "ok."
    Helpful hint: This name should indicate what the picklist is for, in order to easily identify and attach the picklist to a question in the Additional Information dictionary.

  • Ensure that the newly-created picklist name is highlighted; then click "add entry."
  • Select items from the left pane individually, making sure to click "add" to move them to the right pane.
