Evaluation Checklists Questions

Adding Checklist Questions

The Evaluation Checklist items are answer driven, meaning depending upon the answer the user may have to answer additional items.

To add a checklist item, simply find the checklist that was created and Click View Questions.

A new window will open and the User will see Checklist Question.

Question

This is a question (blue circle) that the user has decided to have a follow up question. The User would select Parent Question and the Response.

Response

The next question will be based on the response (green square) given in the question

Category

This is a filtering mechanism in order to supply the Responsible Person of the MOC with Checklist Items that are appropriate for any particular MOC. This functionality is described below.

Question is required, Attachment is required

Checking this box as Required the user must address or attach documentation. These items will be in bold font if the question is required.

Use MOC Target Date

If this box is checked an Action item created from an Evaluation Item will use the MOC Target Date. If this is not selected, the action items will be assigned the same Target Date as the Evaluation Items.

Action Assign

If you wish, you can determine a default User who is assigned the Action Item, if generated from the Evaluation Item. The list of Users consists of the Responsible Person for the MOC, Unit Supervisor, and Question Assignee.

Assignee

This field allows the Administrator to assign either a default User or a default Job Type to Evaluation Items. Select the Assignee Type – either Job Type or Person. If Job Type is selected, a list of all Job Types in the database is displayed. If a Job Type is selected as the default Assignee, a list of all Users assigned to the selected Job Type AND assigned to the Location where the MOC resides is displayed when the Evaluation Item is assigned to the MOC. If Person is selected, choose a name for the Default Assignee from the list, the User selected appears by default as the Assignee of the Evaluation Item when the Item is assigned to an MOC. The Assignee can be changed as the list displayed by clicking on the drop-down arrow to display a list of all Users with permissions assigned to the Location.

Question Text

This field allows the user to enter the question text

Action Tab

Will display fields that allow the user to enter default text that is used to populate the Action text field from an evaluation item. This text becomes the Action Description. This action would need to be fairly generic since it would be applied to all MOCs assigned to the specific Evaluation checklist question.

Response Type

This is the type of control radio button (Yes, No) can only select one, select drop down (list of items) can only select one, checkbox (list of items) can select multiple, Date/Time, Number (number only) and text response (type in comments). The response character limit is 250 characters.

Example

Do the drawings need to be updated? (Parent Question) Yes, No If this is a Yes (Parent Response), then the follow question or item would be, list the drawings in the box that will need to be updated.

To add a checklist question (Parent), use the following steps:

  1. Click the Add Question button located in the upper right of the window
  2. Enter the question into the question text field
  3. Is the question or attachment required. Click the box if either of those items are required
