Adding Questions and Answers
Important: If you have not already done so, consider planning the questionnaire content before starting to add questions and answers. See Planning a Questionnaire for details.
To create a new questionnaire and start adding questions and answers,
- Open the draft document you want to add a questionnaire to.
- Click the Edit Questionnaire tab.
- If a questionnaire has not yet been created for this document, click Create Questionnaire.
- (Optional) If you want to include a learning objective as a heading for the first group of questions, click New Learning Objective, type the objective, and then click Save.
Note: If you don't add a learning objective, a default objective called General Questions is added for you.
- To add a question, do one of the following:
- Click New Question near the upper left corner of the 1. Questions & Answers window.
- Click New Question in the learning objective header.
Important: When you have only one learning objective, clicking either New Question option does the same thing. However, if you have multiple objectives, clicking New Question in the upper left corner adds a question to the first learning objective, while clicking New Question in a learning objective header adds the question to that learning objective.
- Click the Question Type box, and then click an option. As shown below, the options in the Answers area change based on the question type selected.
Important: If you change the question type after typing answers, those answers will be deleted.
- If you selected Open Ended as the question type, move on to the next step. If you selected Multiple Choice, True or False, or Yes or No, then, in the header of the Answers area, do one of the following:
- If you're creating a test-type question, select Only one answer is correct.
- If you're creating a survey-type question, select Any answer is acceptable.
- Do one of the following:
- If you selected Multiple Choice, True or False, or Yes or No type answers—one correct answer and one or more distracters (incorrect answers)—click the correct answer. If you selected Multiple Choice and want to include more than four possible answers, click Add another answer.

Notes:
- The answers will appear in the questionnaire in the same order that you enter them here.
- To delete an answer, click the trash icon (
 ) next to it.

- If you selected Open Ended, you don't need to provide any answers, because the questionnaire taker will see a blank text box and provide an essay-type answer. Move on to the next step.
Note: An open-ended question is not included when calculating a reader's questionnaire score.
- (Optional) At this point, you can set up several actions for PolicyTech™ to take based on which answer a questionnaire taker chooses. Click an item in the list below to go to detailed instructions about an action.
Important: Before you can assign an action, you must type a question and, if it's not an open-ended question, type answers and select the correct answer.
- (Optional) In Questionnaire Settings (see Questionnaire Settings) you can choose to show all questions or only incorrectly answered questions along with quiz results (score). Only if one of these two options is selected will the Feedback box be activated. The feedback can be anything you feel would be useful for the quiz taker, such as an explanation of the concept the question is about.
If you want to add feedback text, you can do either of the following:
- To activate the Feedback box now, click Save and Close, click Questionnaire Settings, and then, in the Questionnaire Results area, click either Show all questions or Show incorrectly answered questions. Then, to return to the question you were working on, click Questions & Answers, and then click Edit Question.
- To add feedback text later, complete the remaining steps below, including configuring the questionnaire settings. Then, after selecting Show all questions or Show incorrectly answered questions in Questionnaire Settings, return to the Questions & Answers page and edit each question to add feedback text (see Changing a Questionnaire for help).
Note: You cannot include feedback for an open-ended question.
- (Optional) In the Learning Objective area, do one of the following:
- To create a new objective and assign the current question to that objective, click New Objective (Optional), type an objective, and then click Save.
- To keep the question in the currently selected objective and edit the objective text, click Edit Selected, make changes, and then click Save.
- If you've already defined two or more learning objectives and want to assign the current question to a different learning objective, click the Learning Objective box, and then click an objective.
- To create additional questions and, optionally, learning objectives, repeat steps 5 through 11 as many times as necessary.
- Click Questionnaire Settings, and then go to Questionnaire Settings for detailed instructions.
- Click Save.
