Modify questions in the client request

Once you have added all the queries you will need for this client request, you can modify each of them to create a framework for the contact to answer your questions.

There are a few things that you can do to modify queries in your client requests:

  • Add a summary - Select the summary field above the description field to enter a name or a short description for the query.

  • Change the response type - Select the more actions icon (), then choose Settings to open the query Settings dialog. You can select a different response type in the settings dialog:

    • Manual - the client will enter information into a text box.

    • Picklist - the client will choose one answer from a list of choices.

    • Multi-Picklist - the client will choose one or more answers from a list of choices.

    • Upload Files - the client will attach a file to the engagement.

      Note: The maximum upload size is 500 MB per file. For a secure file exchange, the system prevents upload of suspicious files, such as: .com, .bat, .exe, .cmd, .sh, .dll, .so, .o, .deb, .msi, .rpm, .ko, .sys, .php, .py, .vbs, .js, .app.
