Use this feature to change the default settings of the currently-open questionnaire. These settings will be used for all tables and charts, unless they are over-ridden by the user creating the table or chart. For example, if the default weighting is defined as "individuals living in the north-east region", a table will always have this weighting applied unless another weighting is explicitly chosen when the table is defined.

Name: This will be the row label displayed in the table.
Position: Determines where the total row or column will appear (as the first or last row/column).
Mode: Determines how the total will be calculated. If you select group all responses, then all counts will be included in the total, except for DK and NA responses. If you select script, then a sub-option appears:
Script: Allows you to select a default script which is used as the basis of the calculation (sum all, a calculated total, or base).
Default sharing: Determines your default sharing options; you can define a list of co-workers and/or clients to which you will, by default, share Variables, Profiles, Properties and Portfolios that you define. For details, see default sharing options below.
In the survey settings, the Default sharing options determine the people who, by default, you will share any Variables, Profiles, Properties or Portfolios that you define in askiavista. A list of people is displayed (initially, this list will be empty) ; you can add people to (and remove them from) this list, and, for each individual, specify his or her access and sharing rights.
