Copying Questions from the Question Library into a Questionnaire

When you create a questionnaire, you can copy questions from the Question Library into your questionnaire. You also can copy questions at any time using the Fields or Layout tab of the Manage Questionnaires page.

Note: After you copy a question from the Question Library into your questionnaire, it is no longer connected to the original question in the Question Library. As a result, you can modify the question without affecting the version in the Question Library. This enables you to tailor questions for a specific type of assessment. For example, you can change the question weighting, relate a question to additional authoritative sources, add new answer options, and more.

  1. From the menu, click Admin menu > Application Builder > Applications, and select the questionnaire that you want to modify.

  2. Go to the Fields tab.

  3. Click the Question Library link in the top-right corner of the page.

    Note: You also can access the Record Lookup page from the Layout tab. Click the Add New Field arrow and select Add from Question Library.

  4. On the Record Lookup page, select the checkbox for each question that you want to copy into your questionnaire.

    Note: To limit the types of questions that you see on the Question Lookup page, enter the values that you want to filter by in the filter boxes for that column. Click Filter in the column header to refine your search results. You can also select all questions within the Search Results page by selecting the checkbox at the top of the Question Name column.

  5. Click Apply to copy the selected questions into your questionnaire. When prompted to confirm your selections, click Continue to complete the copy operation.

    When you leave the Question Lookup page, the Administrators tab is displayed on the Manage Questionnaires page. In the Last Question Library Copy control group at the bottom of the page, you can see the status of your copy operation. When it is complete, click the Layout tab to view your questions in the questionnaire layout. The questions automatically are grouped in sections by question category.

  6. Click Save.
