Adding Award Program Questions

Each award can also includes a unique set of nomination questions that a user must answer when nominating a candidate. The Questions tab allows the user to create these questions and establish their sort order. A question category code is included to allow the award administrator to group the questions into sections on an interactive web form. You can choose whether or not answering any question is a requirement for submitting a nomination.

The answer fields are text only and are not mapped to any pre-existing Personify fields.
