Using a Map Control

In online questionnaires, you can make the survey more interesting by converting single or multi-response questions to images. The respondents click on one of the images to answer the question.

Snap XMP uses Map Controls to add this feature. With a Map Control each image or part of an image represents a choice. When the respondent clicks on one this highlights the image, showing their response.

You can customise the Map Control by

• defining the areas to click on
• defining how the areas map to the question codes
• setting the type of highlighting

Converting a question to a map control

1. Open the questionnaire in Design mode.
2. Select the single or multi-response question that you wish to convert.

5. The question layout changes to a grey box with the text “Double-click to define Map Control”

The codes in the selected question will be loaded into the Map Control Editor so you can associate them with defined areas of the image.
