QUESTION STEMS ON LARGE AND SMALL BROWSERS:
QUESTION STEMS FOR ITEMS THAT ARE DISPLAYED TOGETHER IN GRIDS ON LARGE FORMATS (SUCH AS A

SEPARATE SCREENS TO MAKE THE INTENT OF THE ITEM CLEAR.
ON LARGE FORMAT DISPLAYS, QUESTIONS IN A GRID ARE SKIPPED AS A GROUP WHEN THE NEXT BUTTON
IS USED. ON MOBILE, QUESTIONS IN GRIDS ARE PRESENTED ONE AT A TIME. IF THE "SAVE AND EXIT"
BUTTON IS USED IN THE MIDDLE OF GRID QUESTIONS, AND SOME OF THE GRID QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN
ANSWERED, THE REMAINING QUESTIONS IN A GRID WILL BE ASSIGNED SK. FOR GRIDS THAT HAVE BEEN
DIVIDED INTO SMALLER GROUPS OF ITEMS, THIS SK ASSIGNMENT TO THE REMAINING QUESTIONS IN A
GRID WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE DEFINED GRID SET IN THE SMALLER GROUP. ELSE, IF THERE IS A BREAK OFF
OR TIMEOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF GRID QUESTIONS, NO ANSWERS IN THE GRID WILL BE SAVED OR
AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNED SK.
TEXT IN RESPONSE OPTIONS IN GRID ITEMS SHOULD BE TOP ALIGNED.
