1. Features

If a user attempts to save a Questionnaire without pressing the Add button for a comment question, a dialog will be shown to allow the user to choose whether include, discard or continue editing.

Questionnaire Action Cards

The list of actions on Questionnaire now display extra information:

• Owner
• Start, End and Due date
• Stage
• Progress

Pre Populate questions via URL

The "Create new instance of a questionnaire" link supports pre-populating question answers.
The parameter structure required is “q-[reporting alias of question]=[value]”. For dates, please use the format “yyyy-MM-dd” e.g.  2025-02-10 for the first of February 2025.

Editing previous Questionnaire Version

Previous version of a Questionnaire can be edited. This is useful where older instances have not been closed and the workflow or notifications require changing. An previous version can be saved as a new version, leap-frogging the current version.

Icons in lists

Lists can have a single icon per value. These icons can be added to existing and new lists in the Lists area of Question Manager.
Examples of all the icons provided with the product, including smileys, thumbs up and down, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). See full release notes for guidance.

Grouped Lists

Lists can be marked as grouped. The first level is the group header and second level are the available values.

Questionnaire Instance Audit History

The Audit History dialog has been updated to show a filterable table of the changes to a Questionnaire Instance.
