About Simple Question rules
 

This rule type is part of the PegaSurvey framework. Simple Question rules available to those having access to the PegaSurvey RuleSet.

Although developers can work directly with question rule forms, Pega recommends creating and managing questions through the My Surveys tab on the Survey Management landing page.

Access the landing page by selecting > Survey Management > My Surveys.

Simple question rules contain simple (single question requiring a single answer) questions used in Pega surveys. Simple questions can be of the following types:

• Radio button — the user responds to the question by clicking one of the available radio buttons to select the answer option beside it.
• Freeform — the user enters a word or phrase.
• Dynamic Dropdown Menu — the system presents a series of possible answers based on some logical setting, and the user chooses from among the presented options.
• Repeat — the user enters one or more items to create a list (as in "Enter the first names of your children, one per line".
• Show Display Text Only — the "question" does not get an answer. This allows the survey designer to enter explanatory blocks of text within the survey page.
• File — the user is invited to upload a file, as in "Attach your resume".
• Checkbox — the user can check or leave unchecked a box in response to the question, as in "Check to receive a copy of the report".
• Custom section — select the custom section which displays the controls the end user works with to respond to the question.

There are also complex questions.

Where referenced

Surveys include one or more question pages. Each question page references one or more simple or complex questions, and can include a mixture of both types.

Access

If you have access to PegaSurvey, both developers and managers can create, update, and deploy questions. Although developers can work directly with question rule forms, Pega recommends creating and managing questions in the context of the question pages and surveys that include them, through the My Surveys tab on the Survey Management landing page. Instructions for that tab provide guidance on creating and deploying questions.
