        Using
        
        * add a questionnaire like any other content type
        
        check 'use_ticket' if you want to use tickets (see below)
        
        * go to 'design' tab
        
        * add a question or a group:
        
        * enter the title of the group
        
        * enter the scale of the group (the options will be numbered from
        1 to this value)
        
        * enter the legend to explain the options (put one option on each
        line, starting with the option for 1)
        
        * optionally, enter a description for the group
        
        * add / remove questions to the group
        
        * repeat for other groups if you have more

        between their start and expiry dates)
        
        * go to the Zope Management Interface, the 'Security' tab and check
        the permissions on who can add, edit, fill-out and view the results
        of the questionnaire
        
        * go to the 'evaluate' tab and see the results or get a PDF report
        
        Tickets
        
        This mechanism was implemented to fulfil a need of my department
        here at the Istanbul Technical University. At the end of each
        term we present students with questionnaires for each course
        they have taken in that term. Since our students have no users
        on our site, we decided to hand out tickets that would enable
        them to fillout the questionnaires even as anonymous visitors.
        If you have a similar case, here's how it works:
        
        * when editing the questionnaire, check 'use_ticket'
        
        * go to the 'tickets' tab and create as many tickets as you like
        (multiples of 15 are recommended, since they can be printed out
        on a page)
        
        * select 'list available tickets' and print that page
        (*note*: the number of tickets displayed are always a multiple
        of 3, so you may not be able to see the last 1 or 2 tickets)
        
        * hand out the tickets to people you would like to participate
        in the questionnaire
