Assessments are organized in pages, which contain questions and presentation elements. Generally, pages will be shown to the assessor in the order in which they appear in the Assessment page list. However, you can control whether a page in the survey will be shown to an assessor using page conditions. Once you have created your assessment page, you can add questions and visual elements to your page. When you mark the checkbox next to the page, a sample viewing of all questions in the page will appear at the bottom of the screen.
