      Tip

      If the Question you require does not appear in the Question Code drop-down, new questions can be added by following these steps:

      1. Navigate to Advanced Content --> Questionnaire Field Maintenance (/QuestionMaintenance.aspx).
      2. Click 'New'.
      3. Set the values as follows:
        1. Question Code - a unique code to easily identify this question for selection later on
        2. Question Text - the question prompt which will be displayed to the user
        3. Sequence - determines the order in which the question appears in the maintenance screen. This will default to the next available sequence number, but can be overwritten
        4. Answer Format - the required format for responses to this question (e.g. Short Text, Number, Tickbox, etc)
        5. Length - the number of characters the field is to be restricted to (if applicable)
        6. Required - tick this box if this question is to be mandatory
        7. Help - enter tooltip text here - either a further explanation or example; anything which might assist the user in completing the questionnaire
        8. Hidden - tick this box if the question should NOT appear on the questionnaire (used to render hidden HTML elements on a questionnaire page)
      4. Click 'OK' to save.

      Questions created here will now be available for use in any Questionnaire.



       

  2. Place & configure the Widget
    (in this example we'll use an existing custom page): 
    1. Navigate to Content --> Custom Pages
    2. Click 'Design' on the required Custom Page. (Note - if there is no 'Design' button, your page is not widget-based and will need to be converted via page Options.)
    3. Click 'Add Widget'.
    4. Search for and add the Questionnaire widget. 
    5. Click 'Edit' on the widget. 
    6. Configure options as required. Refer to the widget documentation for a detailed explanation of all options.

For example, Name and Company Name (for logged in users), or product code (if the form is a stock enquiry form on a product detail page). Here's a quick how-to:

  1. First, find your questionnaire fields - navigate to Advanced ContentQuestionnaire Group Maintenance.
  2. Select your questionnaire and click the 'Questions' link. This will show you the field name of each questionnaire field - take note (or a screenshot!).
  3. Now, go to Advanced ContentQuestionnaire Field Maintenance.
  4. Search for the field you wish to prefill and click 'Modify'.
  5. Enter the appropriate value in the 'Token to Prepopulate' field (see table below).
  6. Click 'OK' to save.
  7. Click the 'RefreshDictionary' link to update your questionnaire.
  8. Repeat for any remaining fields.
