Lists are like forms, with questions that are answered by your audience and with answers that can be used to influence how your Reach portal operates. This document provides an basic overview of the menu items available with links to additional relevant information.

Question Management

GO TO: Lists >> Question management

You can manage questions in two ways in the Lists module. 
  1. You can create questions for each list individually in the Lists Designer section.
    1. There is no need to use the Question Management section when creating questions in the list itself
  2. Build a set of Question Templates which can be selected and used in multiple lists
    1. Question Templates must be created in the Question Management section and saved to your Question Bank for use later
The structure and design of each question is the same regardless of whether it is a Question Template of a list specific question.  The only difference in these questions is whether the question is available for use in more than one list. The procedure for creating a question is the same whether you are creating the question for a single list or saving to the Question Bank.

Question Templates can be created with the purpose of reusability, an unlimited number of templates can be created for your school and these can be used in as many lists as required.
It is not uncommon for some questions to be similar across lists, so a Question Template can save a great deal of time by setting the question structure once and then add it to any Lists.
Creating Questions can be done via Question Management or List Designer, alternatively, questions that will only be used in a single list, can be created directly in the List Designer section.
