Creating a Question

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a Question in SAP Fieldglass.

Question

Questions are added to forms to help evaluate a procurement need, determine the correct procurement method, or evaluate suppliers or workers. The questions are added to wizards, decision forms, and supplier evaluations.

For instance, a worker evaluation presents a wizard that contains questions pulled from the Question admin object.

The list page displays all questions that have been configured in the UI, regardless of the module.

You can choose what the answer format will be, such as pick list, yes/no, free text, etc.

2This column indicates the Module the question is associated to. Questions can be associated to Decision Forms, Supplier Qualifications, and Wizards.
3Mandatory indicates if the question must be answered on whatever document it appears.
4Answer Type indicates how the user will fill out the question. Answer types include 5 Point Rating, Date, Number, Pick List, text entry, and Yes/No.
5To view the details of a question, select the appropriate link in the Question column.

Question Details Page

Create a Question

WorkingNet’s Program Office needs to create a new Wizard to help hiring managers evaluate Workers.

As the SAP Fieldglass administrator for WorkingNet, it falls to you to create the Wizard.

However, before you can create it, you first need to create the necessary questions to populate it.
