+Replace with Options from Other Question: Once you have programmed one multiple selection question with a set of options, you can import these options into any other multiple selection question. This is a time saving function because it allows you to define a set of response options and easily import the set into any question in an EgoWeb study. This is useful if questions in a study use the same set of response options repeatedly. For example, if there are a set of questions that ask respondents to rate a set of items by how much they agree or disagree (e.g. “Strongly disagree”; “Somewhat disagree”; “Somewhat agree”; “Strongly agree”), then an option list from a question that uses these same options does not have to start from scratch defining options. This also helps avoid errors in programming.
+Replace with Options from Preset: Do Not Use. No longer maintained and will be removed.
 \\ **DATE**\\  Choose this option if you want the respondent to select a date as the answer. Pick which time units the respondent will enter by checking the appropriate box(es) from among the options Years, Months, Weeks, Days, Hours, and Minutes.\\

 ==== Expressions====
-Expressions are a way to program conditional logic into EgoWeb survey questions. Each expression produces a “true” or “false” result that either controls if Ego questions are presented/not-presented, if alters are listed/not-listed for alter level questions, or if lines/edges are displayed in Network Questions.\\ \\  Expressions are used to program skip logic in social network surveys. Expressions use logic attached to single or multiple questions to determine whether to skip certain questions based on responses to other questions. The example below is a “Simple” expression that can be used to skip questions in a survey when a respondent has indicated that s/he has felt “sad or blue in the last 30 days.”\\ {{ :image45.png?800 |}}\\  Expressions can also be constructed of multiple simple expressions linked together – or simple expressions plus the two other types of expressions – Counting and Comparison. For example, the compound expression below would be true (Skip) if the respondent had both used drugs in the last 30 days and also had sought clinical help in the last 30 days:\\ {{

This also helps avoid errors in programming.\\ \\  We’ve already seen the basics of how to program multiple selection options in the Alter Pairs section. Here is that screenshot again that shows the programming of a question about the frequency with which two alters interact:\\ \\ {{ :image49.png?800 |}}\\  Multiple Selection response types can apply, however, to any question type in EgoWeb, including Ego Questions, Alter Questions, Alter Pair Questions, and Network Questions. You can use the icons listed next to each response option to edit, delete, and perform other manipulations to the options (See the text boxes above)\\ \\  Frequency options that are comm in an EgoWeb study can be reused. For example, we might have a series of questions for ego about how frequently they do each of several behaviors, “how frequently do you do X, do you do Y, etc.” Or we might have questions about how frequently ego does various activities with alters, or how frequently the alters do them with each other. We can program these responses by selecting the dropdown “Replace with options from other question”.\\ \\ {{ :image50.png?800 |}}\\  **DO NOT USE "Replace with options from preset".
