Important Notes

Please note: PDFs may default to open by the browser's PDF Viewer, however, some answer types and features are not available for answering in this view. We recommend opening and answering assessments offline using Adobe Acrobat Reader which will have the most answering capabilities available.
The same PDF or XLSX template can be used for multiple assessments if the questionnaires are the same.
When files are required for questions, please note that attaching files is only available in editable PDF format, NOT Excel.
Tip: It is recommended to use PDF format for answering multiple choice questions as Excel is case sensitive and answers would need to be written in an exact match. PDF format is also needed for attaching files as Excel does not support file attachments.
