Configure question choices

About this task

In Product Designer, when you add a Choice type question, you must configure the available answer choices by opening the Choices page in one of the following ways:

  • After selecting a question in the Questions page, click the Choices link in the Question Editor.
  • After selecting an individual question in the navigation panel, click the Choices link under Go to on the question’s home page.

Procedure

  1. Click Add at the top of the Choices page to add a new row to the list of choices.
  2. Supply the following information:
    PropertyValue

    Code

    Code that is used internally to represent the answer choice.

    Name

    Text of the answer choice that appears in PolicyCenter.
    Description

    Optional description that only appears in Product Designer.
    Score

    Not used in the default PolicyCenter configuration.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to add more answer choices.
  4. Arrange the choices as you want them to appear in PolicyCenter. To arrange the choices, you can:
    • Drag and drop each choice to a new row, but only if the list of choices is sorted by Sequence. Click the Sequence column heading to sort by that column.
    • Change the Sequence number to indicate a new order. Product Designer automatically renumbers other rows to accommodate the number you specify.

Example

Personal auto provides an example of question choices. In Product Designer, navigate to Questions Sets > PA Pre-Qualification > Questions > Is the applicant currently insured?. Click Choices.

The question has four possible answer choices, arranged in the order in which they appear in PolicyCenter.

A Choice type question can appear either as a drop-down list or as a set of option buttons by setting the Format to Choice Select or Choice Radio. However, after you add the question to the question set, you cannot change its format.
