Detailed Steps

1. Import Template 3 (up to 40 concepts) into your panel:
   • Download the PXML template here.
   • In the Surveys app, click New Project.
   • Under Power Survey, click Import.
   • Select the PXML template you downloaded, and click Open.
   • Give the power survey an internal name.
   • Click Upload.
2. Add the template to your study:
   • Create/author your power survey as required.
   • Go to the Questionnaire tab of your study.
   • Click Library on the Authoring toolbar.
   • In the Library Browser, look for the template study in the Studies section, under Pending Studies (the study you created in step 1).
   • Expand the template study in the Library Browser and drag the blocks into your Questionnaire Tree as required. Do not rename any of the blocks or questions.
   • Drag the EDM40_2PLUS_OF_MAX_40 block into your study.
     
3. Configure Even Distribution setup:
   • Click on the EDM40_CONCEPTS question and update the answer options with the list of your 25 frozen dinner names. Remove the extra 15 options at the end of the list.
     
   • Click on the EDM40_SET_CONCEPTS script action.
   • Update the number in the first line of script to 10. The script should look like this: string concept_num_assign = "10";
     
4. Create your concept questions:
   • Author the questions relating to the first frozen dinner name within the EDM40_CONTENT_CONCEPT_1 block under IF_EDM40_CONCEPT_1 condition. Delete the EDM40_CONCEPT_1 placeholder text instruction.
     Author the questions relating to the second frozen dinner name within the EDM40_CONTENT_CONCEPT_2 block under IF_EDM40_CONCEPT_2 condition. Delete the EDM40_CONCEPT_2 placeholder text instruction.  Repeat this process until the 25th frozen dinner name is reached.
     
   • There is no need to delete the unused conditions, but you can if you'd like.
5. Validate and test your survey.
