Question Sections

Purpose

The Question Sections data-table is a child entity which holds data to separate Questionnaires into separate sections. It links to Questionnaires and Questions. It is a very simple data-table, intended just to assist with ordering and grouping of questions within a questionnaire. 

Note: If Images are added to a QuestionSection, these images can be used within the Questionnaire to provided visual assistance to users of the system.

The QuestionSections data-table includes data-fields for things like the "OrderID" and "Name" of the Section, allowing people to design Questionnaires with sections that make logical sense to the participants.

A full listing of all the fields in the data-table with their purposes and any automation built into the App is laid out below. To fully understand the purpose of the data-fields please read further in this topic.

How and where to access QuestionSections data

The image below shows the "QuestionSections" Edit Form. This is accessed via its own entry in the System Entities screen.
