List item collection |

|
Item collection types let us create a custom collection of text / value items using an easy to use administration interface.
Unlike Xml bound type where we need to edit manually Xml files and then upload them to server to make them available, item collection types let us add and edit collection members directly on the server.
If you whish to create your own collection based type you will need to :
- Go to the form builder / answer type editor section.
- Click on create new type
- Give it a new name eg : Country list
- Select list items as a datasource
- Choose the layout that will be shown to the user
- Create type.
- Once you created the type you can select it again to add items to its collection
You can now use this new answer type in any new or existing question.
Item Collection Editor
The item collection editor let us add, edit or remove items from the collection of the type
- Item Text is the text that will be shown to the user.
- Item Value is the value that will be stored inside the database once the respondent has submitted his results.
- Edition Language allows us to edit the item texts or values in a specific language. Feedback Server® will automatically show at runtime the right version to the user based on the language he has chosen. In order to edit an item in a specific language, select the edition language in which you want to edit the item, click on the edit button to edit the item, enter its translation and click update to save the translation to the database.
