The way the responses are captured can vary depending on the question being asked. As previously mentioned, Decision Assist supports the capture of boolean, code table and numeric answer types. The answer type is configured at the same time as the question, in IEG2.

When the questions are added to the matrix, sub rows are created for each question depending on the answer data type configured for the question:

• For integers the user is presented with options to specify either a range or a fixed value.
• For enumerated lists, a dropdown with values from the code table selected in IEG2 is displayed for the user to choose
• For boolean, True and False options are displayed.

Multiple answer values can be specified for the questions, to cover different combinations of answers. For example, the answer True for a question can be mapped to one outcome and False can be mapped to another outcome, which means that the question has two sub rows, one for True and the other for False.
