Adding an Assessment Question

Once the question subjects have been added (ref chapter above) to the assessment template, it is possible to start adding the individual questions for each subject. The question should be formalized in a way which allow for short concise answers as you will be required to create answer options also.

It is possible to enter answers as free text comments, but it will not be possible, at least for TM Master, to calculate a score based on the free text.
