The GO-Snax Project

• We are carrying out market research for the
  Kiddystuff company. We need to analyse and
  present the information we have collected.
• Today we are going to record, check and analyse
  our results from the questionnaires we created
  earlier.

Setting up our datafile
Keywords are very useful to limit the answers and
make data entry quicker.
Choose the data type to match the possible
answers.
The size is the maximum number of letters or
numbers.
Choose fieldnames to match your own
questionnaires.

It is often useful to have other as a keyword
e.g. chilli flavour?

You can enter and check the information as a
table. This is useful to check you have
entered the information accurately.

Some people prefer the record card display as
you can see all the replies from person at once.
This would be more useful if you were entering
information directly in to the datafile
