Grouping questions is a time-saving feature when managing multiple questions with identical answers and requiring the same adjustments. Any changes made to one question in the group will be automatically applied to the others.

  • Select any variable in the group to see its categories;

  • Select the Top-2 scores - ‘9’ and ‘10 - and click on the ‘OR’ icon or icon.png . This will create a new answer option for all grouped variables of people who answered 'Yes' to either of these questions. ​

  • Repeat for Bottom-2 and Detractors. Now all changes are applied to all variables in the group.
