Removing parent question Response fields

Overview

If you have a parent question with sub-questions, and the parent question does not require a response, you can map the file so only the sub-questions get answer fields when the file is imported.

Removing parent question Response fields

1. Map your file as usual, marking the questions and sub-questions.
2. Click the Preview icon next to the Table of Contents.
3. Select Skip answers for parent questions.
   
4. (Optional) Change the order of the questions. Hover over a question to display its handle, and then drag and drop it to the new location.
5. Click Save, then click Import to import the file.
   • The parent questions won't have a response field but the sub-questions will.
     
   • Once the section is marked as reviewed/completed, the Q&A pair goes into the Answer Library (if enabled) and the parent question text will display in front of the sub-question, separated by a colon.
     
   • Parent questions are displayed in front of the sub-questions in the Q&A pair to provide context. If the parent question has its own response field, the link between the parent question and sub-question via colon will still exist.
     Note: The parent question is automatically marked as completed once all its sub-questions are marked as complete.
