questionnaire system

Questionnaires allow you to add to forms a specific set of questions for each specific category of item, such as adding questions for each assessment, project type, service request type, or move type. For example you could add a set of questions for users requesting an employee move, and another set of questions for those requesting a group move, and so on.

This system is used by Workplace, Archibus mobile apps, as well as many Web applications (including Condition Assessment, Capital Budgeting, Projects, Moves, Service Desk).

You define the questions as part of setting up the application so that assessors, movers, service requestors, and other workers can answer these questions as part of completing their work or requesting service.

Questions can be in the following forms: free form text, integer, number, enumerated list, validated (lookup), and date.

Questions and questionnaires are stored in the Questions (questions) and Questionnaire (questionnaire) tables.

User responses are stored as XML in the questionnaire response field of the appropriate table. For example, Service Desk questions are stored in the Questionnaire Results of the Action Items table (the activity_log.act_quest field).

Archibus V.23.2 added the extended questionnaire feature, which provide a more robust question format. Extended questionnaires are used in the Compliance and Maintenance applications, and in OnSite.
