To add a questionnaire to a view, create an instance of the questionnaire control, passing the Questionnaire Code (questionnaire_id) and the panel id in which the questionnaire should appear. Note that the panel may be of type
form
or
columnReport
:
this.quest = new Ab.questionnaire.Quest(q_id, 'exPrgQuestionnaireForm_form');
Before saving an edit form containing a questionnaire, call
beforeSaveQuestionnaire()
to write the question answers to the questionnaire response field in XML format:
this.quest.beforeSaveQuestionnaire();
Items to Include in the View File
The following items must be included in the AXVW file:
- the hidden questionnaire response field, for example:
<field name="project_quest" table="project" hidden="true" />
-
a view panel including the view file:
ab-questionnaire.axvw. This view file includes the data source for the questionnaire:
<panel type="view" id="viewPanelId" file="ab-questionnaire.axvw"/>
Displaying a Questionnaire in a Read-Only Report
By default, a panel of type
form
will display editable questionnaire fields and a panel of type
columnReport
will display read-only questionnaire fields. To have a read-only questionnaire appear in a panel of type
form
, set the optional
readOnly
parameter to
true
:
this.quest = new Ab.questionnaire.Quest(q_id, 'exPrgQuestionnaireForm_form', true);
