Questionaire

Overview

A questionaire is used to create a list of questions that are then grouped together in a Questionaire Group

The questionairre has a header area where you can put instructions or notes and some limitations for the questions.

Below the header area is the area that questions are entered - and they appear in the question list as they are saved.  You can Browse Tests to review.

You also may want to Setup and Configure Anonymous Questionaire or review Anonymous Questionaire Tests
