Working with questions

The toolbox for an assessment template is available on the Template Designer tab of the template. The toolbox contains a set of input tools such as text boxes and date pickers that can be used to collect input from the user taking an assessment. The toolbox also contains a set of logic tools such as decision-making elements and expressions that can be used to show conditional text to the user. You can group these tools into panel containers.
