Adding New Questions

The most efficient way to upload new questions yourself is to use a CSV file. From the grid view, click the CSV upload button. Each line of the file represents one question , with twelve the fields , which are outlined in the table below. The fields allow you to determine how the question will look, where it shows up (under what category), what type of answers are allowed and how the answers will be scored.

Field number

Field name

Required

1

text

yes

the question itself

2

parent

no

the text of the parent question; this field is blank if it has no parent question

3

category

yes- if no parent

the category it belongs in; if the question has a parent, then leave this field blank and it inherits the category of the parent question

4

explanation required

no

Under what circumstances does the answer require an explanation?

r = if answer is favorable; u = if answer is unfavorable;

a = always; n = never

5

show if parent

no

y = if the answer to the parent question is favorable, then show this question (default);

n = if the answer to the parent question is unfavorable, then show this question.

6

weight*

no

c = critical; h = high; m = medium (default); l = low; i = informational

7

allow explanation

no

true = allow users to type in an explanation;

false (default) = no explanation allowed (does not override the “explanation required” field)

8

help text

no

text that will be displayed as help text for the question (recommended)

9

question answer response group

yes

the name of the answer response group for this question

10

no

f = required when favorable only;

u = required when unfavorable only;

a = always required;

n (default) = never required

11

allow documentation

no

true = allow documentation upload;

false (default) = do not allow documentation upload (does not override the “documentation required” field)

The weight value is used to calculate the scores which are reported by Isora GRC’s reports module. The multiplier for the selected answer will be multiplied by the question’s weight value to determine the score for the question. The survey score is the cumulative total for all questions in that survey. The respective weight values are summarized in the table below.

...

To add a single new question to Isora GRC, you can use the “add a new question” box. Fill in the fields and click “save.”

...

Some fields are only relevant based on how you answer other fields. If the field is irrelevant, then it is ignored. For instance, if you manually enter a question with no parent, then the “show if parent” field is ignored.

Allowing users to upload documentation

You may wish to allow users to upload documentation to support their answer. This documentation will be stored in the cloud and later you can retrieve it when you view the completed assessment. You can choose under what circumstances users are allowed to or required to supply documentation.

Editing existing questions

To edit an existing question, you can click the text of the question itself. This changes the “add a new question” dialog into an edit dialog.
