Questionnaire Page Components

Each questionnaire page can contain the following items:
questions question groups free text.
Questions are used to obtain information about a candidate and the candidate's qualifications and experience. The responses candidates give to questions allows the candidates to be assessed in terms of their suitability for a job. Each questionnaire page must contain at least one question and questions with different answer types can be used to elicit different types of information. A question can be flagged as mandatory, in which case the system will not allow the questionnaire to be submitted unless the candidate answers the question.
Question groups are logical collections of questions on a questionnaire page. Question groups can be used to group related questions on a questionnaire page and can also contain free text. Each question group has a name that appears as a text label at the top of the group. For example, all questions on a questionnaire page relating to the citizenship status of a candidate could appear within a group labelled Citizensh ip Status.
Free text represents any text that appears on a questionnaire page but is not part of a question. This may include any general information or instructions that may be displayed on a questionnaire page.
The sample questionnaire page shown below identifies examples of questions, groups and free text.

The Page Entry screen, which is used to define the attributes of and to add items to questionnaire pages, features a pane on the left-hand side of the screen that displays a the items on a questionnaire page, in the order in which they appear on the page.
An example of how items on a questionnaire page are listed within the left-hand pane of the Page Entry screen is shown below. In the example, there is free text at the top of the page, followed by a question group that contains two questions, followed by a single question not belonging to a question group.

Within the pane, free text items are identified by an icon, question groups are identified by anicon and questions are identified by an icon or by an icon if the question has been flagged as mandatory.
Questions within a question group are indented beneath the question group itself. You can toggle the display of questions within a group by
clickingnext to the group name. The next example shows the same page items listed within the pane as in the example above but the questions within the Citizenship Status question group are hidden to maximise the display space on the screen.

When a new item is added to a questionnaire page it is, by default, added below any existing items. The exception to this is if you add a question or free text to a question group, in which case the new item is added below the last existing item within the question group.
However, once an item has been added to a page the sequence in which it appears on the page can be altered if necessary.
