Add Questions

The Question library > Questions screen in Engagement Setup contains reusable questions that you can add to your surveys.

Questions in this screen are organized in the following tabs:

• System: Includes standardized, research-backed engagement questions that are managed by Dayforce. To preserve reporting consistency across surveys, these questions can't be changed.
• Custom: Includes custom questions that were added based on your organization’s needs.

To create a custom question:

1. Go to the Question library > Questions screen in Engagement Setup.
2. Click the Custom tab.
3. Click Create question.
4. In the Details section, enter the question, and then select the category and answer type.
5. (Optional) In the Response options section, select one or more of the following switches:
   • Required by default: When selected, the question is marked as required and employees must answer the question.
   • Allow comments: When selected, employees are provided with a comment field to respond to the question.
   • Comments are required: When selected, the comment field for the question is required in the survey. 
6. Note: Comments aren’t required for optional questions. If the Required by default switch is off, the Comments are required checkbox is automatically deactivated.
6. If you want different segments of employees to see different versions of the question, add one or more question variants in the Variants section. See Add Question Variants.
7. If you want to localize the question, add one more localizations in the Localization section. See Localize Custom Questions.
8. Click Save changes.

You can update questions until they’re used in a published survey. After publication, you can no longer be updated.
