Creating Questions
You create questions in the SmartScript Question Administration view. Because questions are stored separately from the script itself, they can be used more than once in a script and can be used in multiple scripts.
A question element can be an instruction to the agent or employee on how to proceed or to an agent on how to interact with the customer. Or, it can be a block of text to be read and acted on by the user.
See Working with Questions, Answers, and Translations for more information on creating questions.
To create a question
- Navigate to Site Map > SmartScript Administration > Questions.
- Click New, and in the More Info form, enter the question's attributes.
Table 2 details the attributes a question can have. Table 3 shows the question answer types you have to choose from.

For more information on answer controls, see Displaying Answers Within a SmartScript.
