Frequently Asked Questions ========================== Numeric field input ------------------- Sometimes the input of longer numbers is required. Freeform text cannot be used so that other methods are necessary. The method presented here is a field of checkboxes, but further options may exist depending on the solution: * Use of a unique questionnaire ID and be careful when handing out the questionnaire * :ref:`Codeboxes`, i.e. text fields where a barcode sticker is placed In this example, each digit of an 8 digit number is asked for using an :environ:`optiongroup` environment. .. sdaps:: Using optiongroup to input longer numbers :sdapsclassic: \begin{optiongroup}[vertical]{Please enter the 8 digit number} % Set the value as it would be 1 based otherwise, so we can just % use it directly from the data export \choice[val=0]{0} \choice[val=1]{1} \choice[val=2]{2} \choice[val=3]{3} \choice[val=4]{4} \choice[val=5]{5} \choice[val=6]{6} \choice[val=7]{7} \choice[val=8]{8} \choice[val=9]{9} \question[text=d1]{$\bigsqcup$} \question[text=d2]{$\bigsqcup$} \question[text=d3]{$\bigsqcup$} \question[text=d4]{$\bigsqcup$} \question[text=d5]{$\bigsqcup$} \question[text=d6]{$\bigsqcup$} \question[text=d7]{$\bigsqcup$} \question[text=d8]{$\bigsqcup$} \end{optiongroup} How can one use images? ----------------------- The normal LaTeX commands will work as usual. As the image needs to be available during and after the `setup` step of SDAPS extra steps will be required though. The basic problem is that the given LaTeX file is copied into a new directory and the images may not be available then. The following ways exist to deal with this: 1. Copy all images by passing `--add` for each image 2. Place all images into a directory and use `--add` on the directory The second option is a good strategy if you have more images. In the example below a directory called `images` is used which has one file called `sdaps.png`. The `\\graphicspath` command is used so that the image can be refered to by its filename rather than the full relative path. .. sdaps:: Using `graphicx` together with `\\graphicspath` to place images into a subdirectory :sdapsclassic: :preamble: \usepackage{graphicx} % Do not add a leading ./ as that will cause issues under some conditions! \graphicspath{{images/}} The SDAPS logo for the website is \raisebox{-0.8cm}{\includegraphics[width=2cm]{sdaps.png}}. With that done, you need to run the following to setup the project .. code-block:: shell $ sdaps setup tex PROJECT_DIR questionnaire.tex --add images Adjusting corner mark positions ------------------------------- It is possible to adjust the positions of the corner marks. Currently this needs to be done manually. You can override the positions and also update the default page margins using code like the following in the preamble. This requires SDAPS version 1.9.10 or later. .. code-block:: tex % Re-define the default margins (10mm -> 12mm, 12mm -> 15mm) \ExplSyntaxOn \dim_gset:Nn \g_sdaps_edge_left_margin_dim { 12mm } \dim_gset:Nn \g_sdaps_edge_right_margin_dim { 12mm } \dim_gset:Nn \g_sdaps_edge_top_margin_dim { 15mm } \dim_gset:Nn \g_sdaps_edge_bottom_margin_dim { 15mm } \ExplSyntaxOff % Modify the top, bottom and left/right margins, these should be 2mm larger \geometry{top=15mm} \geometry{bottom=17mm} \geometry{hmargin=14mm}
