Adding a new question set

PolicyCenter does not display individual questions, only question sets. Therefore, you must create questions within a question set. Consequently, the first step in creating questions is to add a question set. After you add the question set, you must associate the question set with the products that will use it.

Add new question set

Procedure

  1. In the Product Designer navigation panel, select the Question Sets node.
  2. At the top of the Question Sets page, click Add to open the Add Question Set dialog box.
  3. Enter the code, name, question set type, and the answer container type for the new question set, then click OK. PolicyCenter adds the new question set to the navigation panel.
    At this point, the question set exists, but contains no questions and does not link to a product.

Associate question set with product

About this task

After creating a question set, you can associate the question set with a product.

Procedure

  1. In the Product Designer navigation panel, expand Products and select the product to which to add the question set.
  2. In the product’s home page, under Go to, click Question Sets.
  3. At the top of the Question Sets page, click Add and select the question set from the list of choices. The list shows only question sets that have not already been added to the product.

Question Set pages

After you create a question set, you can select it in the navigation panel and then use the links under Go to to visit any of the following related pages:

  • Questions – Define the individual questions within the question set, as explained in Define new questions.
  • Availability – Define the conditions that control whether the entire question set is available. Availability functionality for question sets is similar to that of the other patterns, and is explained in Defining availability.
  • Offerings – Add or remove the entire question set from offerings. See Offerings page and Configuring offerings for more information.
