Group Questionnaires

A Group questionnaire is a questionnaire that you want your participant to repeat a number of times once per subject. For example, a participant may be based in more than one office and they need to complete the questionnaire once for each office. The spreadsheet below shows how you can lay out the spreadsheet with one row for each office required.
