Build Field Sets in a QA/QI Form

Field sets are subgroups containing questions on the QI/QI form. Once you create a QA/QI form and add groups, which allow you to organize the information into meaningful sections, you can build out these field sets.

To add a field set in a QA/QI form

1. After you create a QA/QI form and a primary group, from the QI/QI form building page, click the add icon associated with the group you want to add the field set to and select FieldSet.
   

2. In the Edit FieldSet window, for Label, enter a name for the subgoup.

3. Click Save.

To associate questions with a field set

1. From the QI/QI form building page, click the add icon associated with the field set you just created. The Edit Question window opens.
   

2. In the Attributes section, complete the fields as applicable. The following are the fields common to most or all types of questions.

   Field	Description
   Label	Text of the question that appears to the individual filling out the form.
   Type	The type of field you want to add to the questionnaire. Depending on what you select, additional fields may appear on the form configuration page. For example, if you specify Numeric, you must also specify the type of number the user can enter for this question. Refer also to Type-specific Fields.
   ToolTip Help	Specifies a brief description, definition, or instruction for the field. If you specify text here, the Help icon appears next to the field. The user can view the definition or description by hovering over the icon.
   Add to Summary	Specifies that the question and answer are to appear in the form's notification summary. When the form is completed and submitted, this summary appears to the recipient in the Completed Forms notification window. Note: In some cases, you may want the form summary to include a question only when the answer is Yes. Set up a check box question in the form and add only the Yes option to it. If the user completing the form selects Yes (as well as the Add to Summary check box), the question appears in the form summary. If the user does not select Yes, the question does not appear in the summary.
