Creation of Question Catalogs 

Purpose

To enable you to use questionnaires for different areas of your company as well as for different subject matter. You create the individual elements that make up a questionnaire, such as introductory texts or the actual questions, in the form of catalog entries.

Process Flow

...

       1.      You specify which headers, texts, and questions you want to have in your questionnaires. You should also clarify the different options for answering the individual questions, such as multiple choice (checkboxes) or manual entries (input lines), right from the start.

       2.      You determine the areas in your company where you want to use questionnaires. Based on this, you specify appropriate descriptions for the question catalogs in which you want to manage the individual questionnaire elements: the Occupational Health question catalog, for example (see Editing Question Catalogs).

You can translate the question catalog into different languages.

       3.      You decide how the catalog entries that you will be creating in the next step can best be grouped together and specify catalog groups accordingly (see Editing Catalog Groups).

You can translate the catalog group into different languages.

       4.      You create the various questions, text elements, or headers that you want to use in your questionnaires. You define these elements as catalog entries for a question catalog and assign them to the appropriate catalog groups (see Editing Catalog Entries).

You can translate the catalog entries into different languages.

       5.      If you want to check the catalog entries and the assigned catalog groups, print the question catalog.

       6.      After you have created, translated, and checked all the catalog entries, set the status to Active, otherwise the entries cannot be used in questionnaires. Note that catalog entries that are set to active can no longer be changed. This is to ensure that questions that have already been used cannot be changed subsequently (see also Status of Catalog Entries).

Result

You have created a question catalog and can now use the entries in it to create questionnaires.
