# Adding and Editing Questions

{% hint style="info" %}
Questions can be added and edited by the PME. See more details about user rights in the [User Roles and Permissions](../user-roles-and-permissions) chapter of this documentation.
{% endhint %}

The Questions area of Settings is a repository of all monitoring questions, each of which has related information attached to it.

![The list of available questions](https://245990476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LXtssvPDq8TYbsiKTaP%2F-M5bUO5Fa033kc-Uco99%2F-M5bUVcdryZkMMkeGJqj%2Fquestions_main.png?generation=1587653025638460\&alt=media)

Rows can be **sorted by columns** in ascending or descending order.

Users can choose the **number of displayed Question per page** using the drop-down field at the bottom of the list:

![Selecting the number of Questions per page](https://245990476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LXtssvPDq8TYbsiKTaP%2F-M5bUO5Fa033kc-Uco99%2F-M5bUVcgGZT_8alGn5Gu%2Fquestions_main_rows.png?generation=1587653031058321\&alt=media)

## Adding a New Question

To add a new question, users can click the "+" button at the bottom right corner of the question list:

![Add a new Question](https://245990476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LXtssvPDq8TYbsiKTaP%2F-M5bUO5Fa033kc-Uco99%2F-M5bUVciVp-0lnR8w5yI%2Fquestions_main_add.png?generation=1587653024811001\&alt=media)

The following form will appear on the screen:

![Question characteristics](https://245990476-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LXtssvPDq8TYbsiKTaP%2F-M5bUO5Fa033kc-Uco99%2F-M5bUVckcvfh5HfBPosS%2Fquestions_add_question.png?generation=1587653025558643\&alt=media)

When users create a new question, they can define the following **characteristics**:

* **Question text;**
* **Sections** enable accessing a filtered list of questions for each entity selected for monitoring. The list of options includes the sections configured in the eTools workspace such as _Child Protection_, _Education_, _Health_, and others. Users can choose as many sections as the particular question applies to. If a Section is not selected for a particular question, the question will appear in all monitoring activities, regardless which sections are performing them; This functionality of associating questions to sections allows for custom templating (if desired), giving the ability for Chief of section or PME to customize which questions show up for which monitoring activities. (eg: If Health section is performing a field monitoring visit, the section can set up custom questions that will only be available if the Health section is selected in the Field Monitoring Activity, therefore sparing other sections the effort of removing health questions from their checklists)
* **Collection Methods** include _Key Informant Interview_, _Focus Group Discussion_, _Observation._
* **Group** reflects MoRE’s Framework groups and allows choosing from the following options: _Supply_, _Demand_, _Do No Harm_, _Enabling Environment_, _Quality_, and _Community Engagement;_
* **Question Target Level** allows FM to produce lists of questions organized by _Partner_, _Output_, and _PD/SSFA._ Each question in field monitoring has to relate to only one "level".
* **Counts towards HACT** defines whether the question, when implemented as monitoring activity, is in support of HACT compliance. There is only one question in the whole system, which has to always relate to the "Partner" level, that can be selected as "Counts toward HACT". This question will drive the automatic HACT compliance calculation, and will increase the number of programmatic visits with one for each Monitoring Activity associated with the Partner Organization in question, that has completed status and a summary finding for this question.
* **Is Active** allows users to define whether a question will appear as an option while preparing an FM activity. Notice that inactive questions still remain in the question bank;
* **Answer Type** includes such options as _Text, Number, Boolean,_ and _Likert Scale._

To add a new question to the question bank, a user can click the **Add button**.

## Question Editing

Users can edit a particular question by clicking the Edit button:

By clicking one of the added filters, users can select particular filtering criteria:
