Often, question names may be long and have complicated punctuation, spelling, or capitalization, which may be harder for creating reports, particularly with ETO Results.
For each individual question on a form, you can create a pseudonym to identify the question instead of using the text used in the question. Pseudonyms can be useful in reporting on un-flattened elements as they allow the report writer to identify elements through a name that is either shorter or more descriptive of what is being measured. Also, if the same question is available in multiple forms and should be compared in reporting, providing a pseudonym that is identical in all forms for the related questions will make it easier to complete comparative reporting.
