Configuring Questions for the Employer and Participant Applications

This question type allows the applicant to choose either a "Yes" or "No" answer.

Number

This question displays a simple entry field similar to the String (text) response, but will only accept a whole number (integer) response.

How it appears on screen:

(Single Option Vertical is the same but will display the options vertically in a single column instead of horizontally.)

Label

This type of question may be used to display descriptive text at any point on the application page without an associated question entry field.

For example, you could use a label to display a disclaimer or privacy policy at the bottom of the application form.

Label questions do not record a response from the user and will not be listed among the attached responses on a completed inquiry/application.

Header

Similar to a label, this type of question may be used to display descriptive text without an associated question entry field, but in a more stylized manner. Question text will be displayed within a bordered box, and the optional Question Hint and Question Footer fields may be used to add a header and footer to the box.

Setup example:

How it looks on screen:

Header questions do not record a response from the user and will not be listed among the attached responses on a completed inquiry/application.

Hyperlink

Use a hyperlink to provide a link to another page or document. Links will open in a new tab or window so the application page will be unaffected.

To configure a hyperlink, place the link URL in the Question field. To display the link as descriptive text instead of the raw URL, add this text to the Question Hint field.

Setup example:

How it appears on screen:

Hyperlink questions do not record a response from the user and will not be listed among the attached responses on a completed inquiry/application.

Embedded

Use the embedded question type to display other multi-media (e.g. images, video) content directly within the application page.

To configure embedded content, place the link URL in the Question field.

NOTE: To display properly, embedded content must be hosted on a secure (HTTPS) server.

Embedded questions do not record a response from the user and will not be listed among the attached responses on a completed inquiry/application.
