Use a multiple samples questionnaire when two or more samples are evaluated at the same time, such as a ranking, preference and napping. Multiple samples may be "with samples" or "after samples."
| SEE ALSO – Add and Work With Questions for the steps to add questions once the new questionnaire has been created. |
To create a multiple samples questionnaire:
From a project, locate the test tab and click on the Surveys tile.
From the Questionnaires step, click on [CREATE QUESTIONNAIRE].
Complete the Title field.
Select Multiple Samples from the Questionnaire Type drop-down menu.
From the drop-down list, select how the samples will be served, then click on [NEXT].
- With Multiple Samples – The questionnaire is shown with two or more samples served at the same time, allowing the participant to make a direct comparison among samples, such as preference or ranking. The samples can also be evaluated in parallel with questions presented for each sample individually when the Zipper™ option is selected.
- After Multiple Samples – The questionnaire is shown following samples served in sequential monadic evaluations, allowing the participant to make a comparison based on his or her memory of the samples, such as preference or ranking. The questionnaire must be linked to a group of samples in the Design Block.
- Sample Entry Mode is typically Confirm by default. When Confirm is selected, the sample code confirmation screen with the assigned blinding code displays. When Verify is selected, the sample code entry screen is displayed and a valid blinding code needs to be entered to start the questionnaire. When Skip is selected the sample code confirmation or entry screen is disabled and the questionnaire will automatically start.
SEE ALSO – Sample Entry Mode and Non-Sample Entry Mode for further details. 
Sample Display is Code by default. This displays the blinding code on the sample code confirmation screen. When Name is selected the sample's Report Name, as entered in Sample Details, will display on the sample code confirmation screen. The setting also carries through to the survey and displays the Sample (Report) Name on applicable question types.

For After Multiple Samples, skip to step 9.
Otherwise, click [NEXT].For With Multiple Samples, select the samples that will be evaluated as a group using this questionnaire, then click on [ADD].
The group of samples are added to the Servings section on the right.
Repeat this for each group of samples that will be evaluated using the questionnaire.Click on [SUBMIT].
The questionnaire is added.
- Click on [SAVE & EXIT] to quit or click on [NEXT] to continue with the Project Wizard.
This completes the steps for adding a multiple samples questionnaire. Continue working with a questionnaire by adding questions, create another questionnaire or go to the Design Block.
