Question Category

 

 

The Question Category maintenance document is used to establish and maintain numeric codes and textual description values that are stored in database tables to represent searchable information that is referenced and/or made available for selection in various areas of the system, including other e-docs.  It is typically used to name a group that represents a functional module of the KC system.  These groups are then used to create and assign questions to for use in Questionnaires that are displayed in documents that are a part of those modules.  Question Categories are assigned when you create/modify Questions.
