Specifying Format Questions
Administrators can configure certification questions that the preparer must respond to before they can submit the reconciliation for review. For example, if your policy requires that the user clear adjustments within 60 days, consider adding a certification question that asks, "Have you cleared all adjustments older than 60 days? – Yes or No". Administrators can add unlimitedcertification questions as needed, for each Format.
To specify questions:
- In New Format, select the Questions tab.
- Click New.
- In New Question, in Question, enter question text.
-
In Type, select a question type:
-

List
Enter a list of valid responses to the question.
-
Multi-Line Text
The maximum length should be less than 4,000 characters.
Select Multi-Line Text, then enter the Number of Lines, from 3 to 50 lines. Multi-Line Text determines how many lines of text are visible, without scrolling, on the Actions dialog boxes.
