Template toolbox
Template fields are the questions and statements that are presented in an assessment. These fields are available in the toolbox in the left pane on the Template designer tab of an assessment template. Template toolbox contains input fields, such as text boxes and date pickers, for asking questions and collecting input from users conducting an assessment. It also contains logic fields, such as decision makers and expressions, for showing conditional text to users. You can organize these fields into panel containers.
To add a field from the toolbox to the canvas, click the field or drag the field to a specific location on the canvas. You can also add your own field to the toolbox. The settings for a field are shown in the sidebar when you click the field on the canvas.
The following table describes the fields shown in the toolbox.
