If you find after collecting data that you need to change choices in your drill down, you will need to hide your old drill down and create a new one.
This includes data collected by previewing the survey or generating test responses. However, after you collect data, you should never change a drill down’s file.
This includes adding rows and columns, removing rows and columns, and changing the wording of choices. You are then able to export the data or report on these embedded data fields rather than the actual question, meaning even if you make changes to your drill down answer choices, the embedded data field will not be invalidated.īefore you collect any responses, it is okay to reupload your drill down file with edits. You would create an embedded data element for each drill down category (eg., Year, Make, Model) with their values set to the piped text of each of those categories. However, in cases where you want to make superficial edits to drill down choices (such as for reporting purposes), you will need to save the answer choices as embedded data in the survey flow, before you send out your survey. Qtip: Editing drill downs can hurt or invalidate data.
