Creating a Question Script & Schema

A life event question script contains the questions that will be presented to the citizen via the online portal. The organization should prepare the questions for the script up-front before defining a life event. The answers to the questions will be stored as data attributes in the system. While composing the questions, the organization should also consider the data types of these attributes. Once the questions and data types have been defined, a question script and data schema can be configured for the life event.

To create an IEG question script and schema respectively, the Question Script and Schema fields in the New Online Life Event modal should be completed. On saving the record, an empty template for both the script and schema will be created by the system. It will then be possible to update these from the Life Events tab by selecting hyperlinks provided on the page. Clicking on the script link will launch the IEG Editor which will allow the question script to be edited. Clicking on the schema link will launch the Datastore Editor which will allow the schema to be edited.

Question scripts and data schemas are created using Cúram Intelligent Evidence Gathering (IEG). For more information on IEG see the Working with Intelligent Evidence Gathering (IEG) guide.
