- Clicking on the questionnaire view icon from the form toolbar, or

To return to the data entry application, you can either:
- Click on the form icon , logic icon , or question text icon from the toolbar, or
- Press Ctrl+M, Ctrl+L, or Ctrl+Q respectively, or
- Choose any of the above options from the View menu.
The questionnaire view for the form displays a non-editable, scrollable view of all fields, presented in their order of entry. This order may not align with the order in which they appear on the form, if fields were moved around after being dropped onto the form. Similar to the
dictionary questionnaire view, the view will present collapsible blocks; however, here the blocks correspond to the forms defined within the application, rather than the records defined within the dictionary.
The questionnaire view for the form is comprised of the following parts:
Side menu view: Clicking on the questionnaire view menu
will display a list of all form fields along the left side of the questionnaire. Clicking on any field will jump to and highlight that field on the questionnaire, scrolling the questionnaire view if needed. If the field list is long, a scrollbar for the side menu will also appear. Click on
again to dismiss the menu.
Form view: Each form will be presented within a white floating box. On the left side of the box's title bar a minus sign will appear. Toggling on this will collapse and re-expand the view for that form, changing the image from a - to a +. The title bar also displays the form's label, followed by a list of all form fields beneath the title bar.
If the form repeats, this will be indicated by a
appearing between the title bar and the form's field list. Clicking on
will toggle the roster orientation from horizontal to vertical and back again. Depending on how many fields are on the form, horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars will appear.
Field view: Each field will display its unique dictionary name, followed by a colon (':') and the dictionary label. Unique to the questionnaire form view is the presence of the question text. The input display area will vary depending on how the field was defined in the dictionary:
- If the field is numeric with discrete values (e.g., 1=Male, 2=Female), then the responses will use radio buttons.
- If the field is numeric continuous (e.g., only a range is defined, such as 0-120 for age), then a gray shaded box with tick marks indicating the number of characters the field allows will be shown.
- If the field is numeric and has a combination of discrete and continuous values (e.g., Age=0-120, Don't know=999), then the display will be a combination of radio buttons for each value defined in the dictionary, with a gray box signaling entry for any continuous values.
- If the field is alpha, a gray shaded box with tick marks will be shown. Note that depending on the screen size and/or length of the alpha field, this may cause a horizontal scroll bar to appear.
Scroll bars: If a field appears within a singly-occurring record, then the scroll bar will appear immediately below the field (or below the roster if the field repeats within the singly-occurring record). However, if the alpha item appears within a repeating record, then no scroll bar will appear, as the scroll bar will be on the roster.
