 I want to change the name or the account login identifier
I want to change the name or the account login identifier for the questionnaire
  1. To change the name of the questionnaire, use the 'Name' field

To change the account login identifier, use the 'Account Login' field (Keep in mind that each account login must be unique, so you cannot use the same identifier for multiple questionnaires; also try to be fairly specific in order to prevent accidental access by a participant from another organization)

 I want to enable or disable self-registration
I want to enable or disable self-registration for my participants

 I want to enable the ability to send comments
I want to enable the ability to send comments to participants in Approved with Conditions status

    1.  Show Me

    2.  What does this even mean?

      Approved with Conditions is a unique status that can be set to participants after they have submitted their questionnaire for review. If you enable this option, then administrators may use the 'Comments' box in the Status Report to send a special Email Template to participants. This template can insert the contents of the 'Comments' box to establish the conditions that the participant must abide by in order to avoid a potential conflict in the future. See below for an example.


 I want to change the start date or end date
I want to change the start date or the end date for the questionnaire
  1. Click on the date next to the 'Activate Date' or 'Deactivate' date fields and use the calendar pop-up to change this date (The Activate Date must be before the Deactivate Date... unless you're Marty McFly)

I want to restrict my questionnaire down to a select set of participant roles
  1. Use the dropdown beside the 'Roles' field to select which participant roles are allowed for selection during participant creation/import
    1.  Show Me

    2.  What does this mean?

      When you are adding participants to a questionnaire, one of the profile fields is 'Roles'. By using the dropdown on the Details page, you may ensure that only participants that fit the set of allowed Roles will be added into the questionnaire.

 I want to enable or disable automatic approval
I want to enable or disable automatic approval for my participants in this questionnaire
  1. Click the checkbox beside the 'Auto Approve' field to enable or disable this feature. When the checkbox is filled, auto approval logic may be configured on the 'Questions' tab of the questionnaire
    1.  Show Me

    2.  Auto approval? Questions tab?

      If this option is enabled, questions with specific response types can be configured with auto approval logic. By doing this, participants who do not trigger a specific answer in any of these questions may be approved in the system automatically.

 I want to assign an approval group to the questionnaire
I'm using classic workflow and want to assign one or two approval groups to a questionnaire. Or, I want to remove approval group designations from the questionnaire
  1. Use the radio buttons beside the 'Workflow Approval Type' field to indicate whether you want to have No Approval Tree (Approval from the Status Report page only), Sectional/Multilevel Approval Tree (Two approval groups with questions split between them), or One Level Workflow (One approval group for the entire questionnaire)
