  2. Description: Self explanitory
  3. Questionnaire Active: If this tick-box is ticked the Questionnaire is marked as "active" in the database. It is not possible to edit the questions in an active Questionniare. This is done to ensure that all Questionnaires are undertaken using the same questions.

  4. Include Farm Field Data: If this tick-box is ticked, when a Questionnaire is run a screen will be included in the Questionnaire to gather and confirm basic data about the farmer's fields to gather data such as field-size, location, and the map of the field.
  5. Include Farmer Data: If this tick-box is ticked, when a Questionnaire is run a screen will be included in the Questionnaire to gather and confirm basic data about the farmer such as their gender, names, KK-ID-Num, Phone Numbers etc. Do not tick this field if the Questionnaire is of a general nature and may be used to ask questions of people who are not farmers.
  6. StandardsIDList: If a Questionnaire is used to assist in the management of a particular international standard such as Organic or Rainforest Alliance these can be added here.
  7. Other fields: The system contains standard Orixa fields to record who created the Questionnaire and when it was edited.
