How to Rearrange Study Statements (Q-set)
Statements will be presented to your study participants in the order in which they are listed on the Study Statements page. The statement numbers reflect this sequence. However, you may want to rearrange the statements to change this order.
Follow these steps:
1. Select the Study
After logging into Q Method Software, click on the title of the study in the Study List interface. This brings you to the Study Dashboard and populates the study's sub-navigation.
2. Go to the Q-Sort Concourse page
On the study sub-navigation on the left side of the interface, select Manage Concourse
3. Drag and drop statements into place
- Click the move icon to the left of the statement you wish to move.
- Drag and drop the statement to the desired location on the list of Study Statements.
The statement numbers instantly update.
Important
You can rearrange Study Statements only if you have not yet started receiving Q-sorts. If participants have begun completing and submitting Q-sorts, the Study Statements will be locked and you will not be able to make changes anymore.
Next Step: Create the study's rank/distribution structure.
