Modeling conventions
The objective of Survey Management is to prepare, plan, execute, and to compare and evaluate surveys based on scores. Surveys can be regularly generated with a predefined frequency or one-time. They can have a context, for example, a risk, a process, or a combination of both. If so, the questionnaires of the survey are visible in the context object page. Surveys can be generated for one or more interviewee roles. Each interviewee role receives one questionnaire, which can then be answered by any role member.
Surveys are based on questionnaire templates that specify the questions to be answered by the interviewees. The questions must be structured in sections. The sections can be reused in various questionnaire templates. There are different types of questions. For single-choice and multiple-choice question types, answer options can be specified in option sets and then be reused, for example, Yes and No answer options.
Scores for answer options can be used to compare or evaluate questionnaires. With specified target scores for surveys, questionnaires, and sections, for example, the questionnaires that achieved the target score can be easily identified. Furthermore, answer options can activate additional questions or sections depending on the answers given (dependent questions).
