 Kuali Coeus: Questionnaire Sample Questionnaire Introduction  KC provides a Questionnaire functionality with many features, including o Question hierarchy: Based on the answer to a question, more questions to gather additional information can be displayed. Questions lower in the hierarchy are hidden until the question context is triggered. o A variety of 'question' types  Yes/No  Yes/No/NA  Text  Number  Date  Lookup o For the context of this document, all of the question types will be referred to as 'questions' regardless of their type. In other words, a Questionnaire element that is a text field will still be called a 'question' in this document.  There are several modules in KC where a Questionnaire can be used. o Proposal Development, Questions tab o Proposal Development, Key Personnel tab, PI Certify panel o Institutional Proposal, Questions tab o and more Case Study: Sample Questionnaire This case study explores a sample questionnaire that highlights some of the features of KC Questionnaire. The questions in the sample are purely for demonstration purposes. To begin, create a Proposal Development eDoc  On the Proposal tab, complete the Required Fields for Saving Document panel  You may complete other tabs, but do not Submit the eDoc In the Proposal Development eDoc  Click the Questions tab 
Click the 

Kuali Coeus: Questionnaire targeted to other areas of the Proposal Development document and not the Questionnaire feature. o If you click the No radio button, the questionnaire is completed and no more action is required. Since we are going to explore the Sample Questionnaire, click the Yes radio button option. In response, more questions are exposed. This is the crux of the KC Questionnaire feature. Questions are exposed only when they are relevant. The user does not have to see questions that are not applicable. 
Question: Will the project use carcinogens? o Click the Yes radio button. Note that two more follow up questions are exposed.  The first follow up question is a short text field. Enter some text in the field. 
The second follow up question is a date field. Click the Sample Questionnaire Page 2 icon to select a date. Revision 2011.12.06.1400

Kuali Coeus: Questionnaire Text field type: The maximum text length specified in the field definition is short, so the text data entry area is also short. Date field type: A calendar icon is displayed to assist with selecting a properly formatted date. Reiterate context‐sensitive question hierarchy concept: When Yes is selected, follow up questions are displayed; when No is selected, no follow up questions are displayed. Question: Is Institution committing non‐personnel costs toward this project?  More information: Three types of additional information can be defined for a question (Explanation, Policy and Regulation). When the More information... link is clicked, the additional information is displayed. To toggle back to just the question, click the Less information... link. Question: ... other resources not under direct control ...?  Multiple answers: A question can be defined to collect multiple answers. In this case, we displayed three Unit lookup fields.  Lookup field type: A question definition can specify a lookup table that can be used to populate the field. Any of the KC maintenance tables can be specified. Question: Equipment?  Yes/No/NA field type: There are two types of Yes/No field types. The Yes/No field type displays options of Yes and No. The Yes/No/NA field type displays options of Yes, No and NA.  Text field type: The text length specified in the field definition is long, so a large text data entry area is displayed. Question: Do you anticipate having to lease new space to conduct this project?  Number field type: A number field type will accept an integer number.  Follow up questions based on number comparison: All of the other question hierarchy triggers in the sample questionnaire are based on a Yes or No answer to a question. This trigger is based on the value of the number entered. KC Questionnaire offers a comprehensive list of question hierarchy triggers. See Appendix B for a complete list. Question: Exempt from disclosure of financial interest?  Follow up questions based on different trigger criteria: All of the other question hierarchy triggers were simple. If the trigger criterion was matched, a follow up question was displayed. In this case, one question was displayed when the answer was Yes and a different question was displayed with the answer was No. KC Questionnaire allows multiple branches of follow up questions based on trigger criteria. Question: Please enter some text below. Question: Please enter a number below. Question: Please enter a date below. Question: Please enter a sponsor type below.  Reiteration of the non‐Yes/No question types: Text, Number, Date and Lookup. Sample Questionnaire Page 6 Revision 2011.12.06.1400
Kuali Coeus: Questionnaire Sample Questionnaire spreadsheet – Maintenance Data Questionnaire maintenance data can data‐loaded in to KC programmatically. This may be the preferred method of initializing the data prior to the initial production use of KC. A spreadsheet has been developed to facilitate the programmatic data loading. Terminology Here is some terminology that applies to a question hierarchy.  Parent: When an answer to a particular question may trigger follow up questions, that question is called a parent question.  Child: A follow up question is called a child question.  Sibling: Questions in the same level of the hierarchy are siblings.  Condition Criteria: The value of an answer to a parent question that will trigger the display of a particular child question. Appendix A is an example of a question hierarchy. In the Sample Questionnaire, there is only one question in the top level of the hierarchy. All of the questions in each level of the hierarchy are aligned at the left edge of the question box. For example, the carcinogen, non‐personnel cost, other resources and equipment questions are all members of the second level of the hierarchy; in other words, they are siblings. The line that connects a parent question to its child includes the condition criteria that must be met before the child question will be displayed. For example, the CUA# question will be displayed only when the answer to the carcinogens question is Yes. Create a question hierarchy diagram Create a diagram of the question hierarchy you would like to implement. You can use a graphic tool like Visio, or draw it out on a sheet of paper. Make sure that your diagram clearly indicates parent, child and sibling relationships. It must also include the conditions that will trigger a particular follow up question. Questionnaire name and usage Enter one row in the Questionnaire worksheet of the spreadsheet to describe the questionnaire and where it should be displayed in KC. The following table contains details of how to fill in the columns of the Questionnaire worksheet. Column Name Required? Notes Questionnaire Name Yes Free format.

Question Type Yes Copy a value from the Question Type worksheet. Question Text Yes Enter the text of the question, i.e., the actual question Question Number Yes Assign each question in your hierarchy a sequential number starting at 1. Each question in the questionnaire will have a unique question number. If there are 15 questions in the questionnaire, they will be numbered 1 through 15. Sequence Number Yes  This one is a bit tricky. Assign the questions in each sibling group a sequential number starting at 1. This is the order that the sibling questions will be displayed to the end‐user. If you have many cases where there is only one follow up question, then there will be many cases where the Sequence Number is 1. If there are two follow up questions, then number them 1 and 2.  If needed, leave this column blank. In that case, provide the question hierarchy diagram along with the spreadsheet and the technical team will complete this column. Max Answers Yes In most cases, enter a value of 1. If you want to collect more than one answer to a single question, enter the number of answers you want to collect. Max Answer Length Significant only for text and number fields: Enter the maximum number of characters allowed in the answer. Condition Flag Yes If this is a child question, enter Y; otherwise enter N Condition Type  Enter a value in this column when you have entered Y in the Condition Flag column.  Copy a value from the Condition Type worksheet. The text condition types pertain to Yes/No, Yes/No/NA, Text and Lookup field types. The number condition types pertain to Number fields types. The date condition types pertain to Date field types.  For example, if the parent question is a Yes/No, copy Matches text from the Condition Type worksheet into this column. Condition Value  Enter a value in this column when you have entered Y in the Condition Flag column.  The Condition Types are all comparisons of some sort. The value of the parent question is one side of the comparison. The value you enter here is the other side of the comparison. Sample Questionnaire Page 8 Revision 2011.12.06.1400
