Summary maker

This page contains a (possibly empty) list of summary makers on the left, and a (possibly empty) list of questions that will be used to make the sale summary on the right.

You might want to have different summary makers for Residential and Rural, but they'll both draw from the same list of questions. The Residential summary maker might be linked to some questions, the Rural one might be linked to others, and they may share some (or a majority) of questions. Regardless, the order of questions is shared across all summary makers.

List

The list page lets you:

  • add new summary makers (New summary maker button)
  • edit summary maker names (double-click the summary maker name)
  • remove summary makers (Remove Remove button)
  • add new questions (New question button)
  • edit existing questions (Edit Edit button)
  • remove items you don't want any more (Remove Remove button)
  • choose the questions you want to associate with the selected summary maker (tick boxes in the questions table).

Regardless of which summary maker is selected at the time you rearrange them, the sequencing of questions applies to all summary makers.
