Creating questions

Fill out the label fields. To enter choices and other information, click on the gray settings cog symbol at the far right. This will open further options for creating the question.


Setting question dependencies

Dependent or dynamic questions allow you to link a question to follow-up question(s) depending on how the first question is answered. For example, if Question 1 is answered with a "Yes", then Question 1a will appear. But if Question 1 is answered with a "No", then Question 1a will not appear.

  1. In the "Show this based on an answer to another field or question" field, use the drop-down menu to select the previous question that you want to link the dependent or follow-up question to.

  2. In the "Show when value equals" field, enter the value that must be entered or selected in the previous question (the one selected in the drop-down menu above) in order for this question to be visible in the survey.

    1. Note: the value must match exactly what is entered or selected for that question


Changing question field order

To change the order of the questions, click and hold down on the three bars symbol to the left of the label field. Then drag the question up or down to the new survey location.


Deleting a question field

To delete a question field, click on the red "x" symbol at the far right of the question.

If a question is deleted, it is not possible to undo this action.


Add another field

To add another question field, click on the gray "Add another field" button. A new question field will appear.


Add a carbon accounting field

You can add carbon accounting fields for collecting scope 3 category emissions data from partners, suppliers or stakeholders.
