===Randomization group name (random_group)=== <!--T:537--><br />
<br />
<!--T:538--><br />
'''Description'''<br />
<br />
<!--T:539--><br />
It places the questions into a specified randomization group, all questions included in the specified group being displayed in a random order to the survey respondents.<br />
<br />
<!--T:547--><br />
You can find a sample survey using randomization group name in [[Expression_Manager_sample_surveys#Randomly_Ask_A_Specific_Number_Of_Questions_In_A_Group_.28a_subset_of_the_questions.29|Expression Manager sample survey]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:540--><br />
'''Valid values'''<br />
<br />
<!--T:541--><br />
Just enter any string you like (for example: 'group1'). All question which have set the same string within the '''randomization group name''' box will have their place in the survey randomized (=randomly exchanged among each other).<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Preview'''<br />
To preview the questions use the ''preview survey'' instead of the ''preview question group'' function, as the second has been reported to not show the questions in a randomized order.<br />
