Create Dependencies Among Questions

 

The forms that are required for submitting an application vary in complexity.  Some have relatively few questions, while others are lengthy and might require the user to skip to other parts of the form to fill out other required questions.

 

The Forms Management Tool creates dynamic questionnaires that only show the user the relevant questions for completion.  Depending on how the user answers each question, subsequent questions will appear or disappear.  For this reason, creating a questionnaire involves more than simply adding questions.  The administrator building the questionnaire must also create the dependencies among the questions.  The screen shot below shows how a user can indicate a parent question and the corresponding child question that should be made visible.  In some instances, the parent question might have a specific value, e.g. ‘Y’ or ‘N’, that will necessitate the child question to appear.  Other times just the presence of the parent child will cause the child question to appear.  The tool is very flexible to allow for implementation of business rules.  The administrator can also indicate if the child question should be indented on the screen for display.
