Auto-Numbering Survey Questions

Defining the export tags with the auto-numbering feature, you can sequentially number the questions in your survey.

Considerations:

All questions will be numbered. This includes Text/Graphic questions, that you have used to present informational text or images.
Export tags in your data export will be generic (e.g., Q1, Q2). You could then change the column headings in Excel or variable names in SPSS prior to doing further analysis.
