Page Link: Page Link fields are used to identify each page of a multi-page Form Templates. Therefore
this field is important like Form ID and we should never mark on it.
a. Constrained Print Field or Boxes:
The numbers that you write must be written in a standard way so that the machine can interpret them. Each box is designed for one number or character. So if we have 4 boxes as
above, the maximum number we can write is 9999.
Decimal: The above
box is used for decimal numbers. The dot between boxes shows the decimal point.
Date: All dates within the NRVA questionnaire will be recorded using Afghan calendar dates. We will write the month, then the day then the year 1386 or 1387. The date of interview on
the cover will be in Gregorian calendar 2007 or 2008
Simple box:
These types of boxes are used to write in any way you want, like normal writing in a notebook. These boxes are not read by computer. They are used for writing names in Dari or
Pashto during the interview.
b. Choice Field
Choice Fields are a list of options. The respondent chooses from these options by selecting ONE appropriate Response Mark. You have to fill the circle completely. If you make a
mistake and you fill wrong circle, you have to put a cross through that circle, then fill the correct one and write the correct number in the small box at the left side of the circles.

c. Entry Field
Entry Fields contain an array of Respondent Mark, also called circles or bubbles. Each Response Mark is tied to a specific value. You have to fill the circle completely. If you make
a mistake and you fill a wrong circle, you have to put a cross through that circle and fill the correct one. The box to the right side is used for writing the number which you filled. If you
make a mistake filling in the box, put a cross through it and write the correct number beside it.
Limits on the response:
To avoid the mistake and make it easy for enumerators we used this design above. It means that the enumerator can not fill in an answer of more than 29. In the first row you can fill in
either 1 or 2, and in the second row you can fill in any digit.
For example, to write 16 you would fill in the circle 1 on the top row and write 1 in the box and we would fill in circle 6 on the second row and write 6 in the box.
We used this type of response in the Female questionnaire and in District Price questionnaire. Decimal Points with Bubbles:
This shape is also used for decimal numbers within bubbles. To write 22.5, in the first two rows fill the 22 and then at the third row fill the 5.
Important points on Teleform for Enumerators during household interviews:
1. Do not mark on the Form ID, Page Link and the Prefill fields. 2. Before filling the circles, make sure yourself that you are filling the correct
circle because each circle has its own number. 3. Fill the circles completely and do not fill only a part of the circles and also do
not fill outside the circle.

4. Write the numbers in the boxes with clear writing so that computer could recognize the numbers.
5. Do not miss any page of the questionnaire. 6. Do not use the photo copy of the questionnaire.
7. Do not ear or fold a page or any corner of a page. 8. Do not use stapler for the questionnaire, Keep it the same which you take it
from the office, and use the clip to hold the pages together. 9. Keep questionnaire clean. If you make it dirty then the computer will not read
the numbers correctly and the scanner will not scan the page. 10. Keep the entire questionnaire with the correct page number order.
