Create a New Questionnaire Response Field

If a questionnaire response field does not already exist in the table to which the questionnaire will be associated, a new field must first be created to hold the questionnaire responses. For example, when creating a Work Request questionnaire, define a new memo field in the Work Requests table to hold the questionnaire results. The new field should have the following properties:

Field Name: "xxx_quest" (for example, "project_quest")
Data Type : "Varchar"
Field Heading: "Questionnaire Results"
String Format : "Memo"
Archibus Type : "Calculated"

The Archibus Type is set to Calculated to prevent users from manually editing the questionnaire response outside of the context of a questionnaire edit form.

Define Questionnaires

New questionnaires are typically defined using a view such as Capital Projects / Projects / Setup / Define Questionnaires . However, if a new questionnaire response field has been inserted into a table, a new Web Central Define Questionnaires view must be created to define questionnaires for that table. This view can mimic current examples which define questionnaires.
