 Creation of a Question

Use

This procedure explains how to create a new question and its possible responses.

Prerequisites

You have authorization to create questions.

Process Flow

  1. You choose Question Maintenance on the succession planner’s start page.

    The system branches to Question Maintenance and the Question Library appears, displaying all questions created thus far that match your selection criteria.

  2. You select the tab page of the Questionnaire Group in which you want to create a question.

  3. You choose Create .

    Note Note

    Alternatively, you can copy an existing question using the Copy function, modify it as required, and save it.

    End of the note.

    The system opens the wizard for creating a question.

  4. You create the question text in the languages that you want to use.

  5. You select a response type.

    Depending on the response type you select, you can make additional specifications:

    • Predefined Scale

      You assign one of the predefined scales with possible responses.

    • Input Field or Input Area

      A free text field or area is available for the user’s response.

    • Single or Multiple Selection

      You search for existing responses or create new responses and assign these responses to the question. You determine the sequence of the responses.

      Note Note

      Check whether the texts of the responses exist in all languages that are relevant for the question. If necessary, add the texts in the missing languages.

      End of the note.

  6. You change the status of the question to Released and save your entries.

    The question is added to the question library and is available for use in questionnaires.

    Note Note

    You can also create the question in the Questionnaire Maintenance view. You assign the questions directly to the questionnaire when you do so. The process is exactly the same as the one outlined here.

    End of the note.

Result

You have created a new question and stored it in the question library. All succession planners who are authorized to do so can access the question and assign it to a questionnaire using the Creation of a Questionnaire process.

If necessary, you can move the question into another question group.
