Searching for Text

You can search for a string of characters in interview titles, questions, and answers. The search functionality enables you to easily find answers that you want to change. To search for a string use the Search > Find command to activate the Find dialog box. Enter the string you wish to search for and use the combo box to widen or narrow the scope of the search. To repeat the search use the Search > Find Next command.

Saving the Interview

At any point in the interview you can use the File > Save As, or File > Save commands to save your answers and your position in the interview. By default, the editor automatically saves the interview to a file named default.jti. It is possible to save the interview to a different file, see Working with Multiple Configurations for more information.

Generating a Log File

At any point in the interview you can use the File > Export Log command to generate (into an HTML file) the text of all completed questions and answers.
