Custom Questions Import

CRMS users can import a file containing custom question records. The unique contents of the file are bulk uploaded and added to the list of available custom questions in the CRMS. CRMS users can then in turn use these custom questions and answers in questionnaires.

Once imported, questions (and their answers) are added to the pool of all Custom Questions. CRMS users can edit and work with uploaded questions exactly as they do with questions created within the CRMS, using the Create a New Custom Question page.

As a general rule, you must use the CRMS Questionnaire Setup procedure to add questions and associated data (for example, formatted answers) to a questionnaire.

You can also use the file import method to make certain type of changes to existing custom question records. (Details below.)

Note: Imported custom question records are not automatically added to a CRMS questionnaire, except in the case of an imported question that exactly duplicates the text characters of an existing question. In this case only, the associated elements of the record replace those same elements that exist in the questionnaire.

For specific instructions for upload the Custom Questions file, refer to the online help for the CRMS. See under the Target>Custom Questions heading in the Online Help System's Table of Contents.
