Add a typekey that defines the question set type

About this task

If you want to define a new question set type, you must add a new typekey to the QuestionSetType typelist. The question set type is often, but not necessarily, related to the entity where the answers are stored. However, a new question set type is not required and the question sets for the new answer container can use one of the existing question set types.

Procedure

  1. Use the Project window in Studio to navigate to configuration > config > extensions > typelist and open QuestionSetType.ttx.
  2. Right-click anywhere in the typelist in the left panel of the editor, and then select Add new > typecode to add a new row.
  3. With the new typekey row selected in the left panel of the editor, fill in the new typelist values as appropriate in the right panel of the editor.
    For example, for an account-level question set type, add a typekey with a code of account, a name of Account, and a description of Account-level question set.
