# Checklist Question & Answer Setup

The following options are available for [configuration for checklist](/en/lr/47738/) _Section Design_, _Question Design_, and _Available Answer Design_ records. Depending on your configuration, you may need to update [page layouts](/en/lr/26387/) to include available options:

## Section Design

* **Section Design Type**: Specifies whether the section is an _Introduction Section_ or _Question Section_.
* **Description**: Specifies a description of an _Introduction Section_ or _Question Section_.
* **Header**: Specifies the header text for an _Introduction Section_.
* **Weight %**: Specifies the weight percentage of a _Question Section_.
* **Randomize Questions**: Allows you to randomize the order of questions on the checklist displayed to users in a _Question Section_.

## Question Design {#question-design}

* **Question Design Type**: Specifies whether the question is a _Date_, _Multiple Choice_, _Number_, or _Text Question_.
* **Attachment Allowed (Attachment)**: Specifies whether users are allowed to attach files in a response.
* **Attachment Required (Attachment)**: Specifies whether users must attach files in a response. _Attachment Allowed (Attachment)_ must be set to **Yes** for this option to be set to **Yes**.
* **Comment Allowed**: Specifies whether users are allowed to add comments in a response.
* **Comment Required**: Specifies whether users must provide a comment in a response. _Comments Allowed_ must be set to **Yes** for this option to be set to **Yes**.
* **Order**: Specifies the order the questions will appear in each section. This option is also required for configuration for checklist _Available Answer Design_ records.
* **Question Text**: Provides the question to which users are asked to respond.
* **Required Response**: Specifies whether responding to the question is mandatory or optional for the user.
* **Maximum Selectable Answers** (_Multiple Choice Questions_ only): Specifies the maximum number of answers which users can select in a response. For _Checklist Answer Type_ records of _Radio_ and _Drop Down List_ type, this value is one (1). Ensure you create the appropriate number of corresponding _Available Answer Design_ records in order to change this value.
* **Checklist Answer Type** (_Multiple Choice Questions_ only): Specifies whether the answer type for the multiple choice question is _Radio_, _Drop Down List_, or _Checkbox_.
* **Documents Allowed**: Specifies whether users can add related version-specific documents in their response at the Question level for _Number_, _Text_, _Date_, and _Multiple Choice Questions_ or at the _Answer_ level for _Multiple Choice Questions_. For multiple choice questions, this option is also available for configuration for checklist _Available Answer Design_ records. A _Multiple Choice Question_ cannot have _Documents Allowed_ set to _Yes_ at both the _Question_ and _Answer_ levels. Users can add a maximum of ten (10) documents.
* **Documents Required**: When _Documents Allowed_ is set to **Yes**, this option specifies whether users must select a _Single Document_, _Multiple Documents_, or whether selecting documents is _Not Required_ (optional) as part of their response. For multiple choice questions, this option is also available for configuration for checklist _Available Answer Design_ records. For multiple choice questions, ensure you configure this option only for the _Question Design_ record or the _Available Answer Design_ record but not for both. Users can add a maximum of ten (10) documents.
* **Reference Media**: Allows you to add an image to the question for the checklist respondent to view. You can also use this field on the _Available Answer Design_ record.
* **Comment Type**: Specifies whether users can enter comments in [Text](/en/lr/15057/#text-field), [Long Text](/en/lr/15057/#long-text), or [Rich Text](/en/lr/15057/#rich-text-field) format.
* **Randomize Answers**: Allows you to randomize the order of answers on the checklist displayed to users.
* **Question Help Text**: You can optionally provide up to 300 characters of text per question to guide checklist respondents in [how to answer a question](/en/lr/49033/#respond). When configured for a question, users can hover over the question to see the question mark icon (**?**) in the top right corner of the question. Users can then click the question mark icon (**?**) to display the guidance text. You can configure this option for _Question Design_ records (including [_Library Question_](/en/lr/52824/#question_lib) records). To use this option, you may need to update the [page layout](/en/lr/26387/) for _Question Design_ records. If your configuration includes custom object types for _Question Design_ records, you need to [assign](/en/lr/32857/#assign) the _Question Text_ field (`question_help_text__sys`) to the appropriate custom object types.
* **Reference Document(s)**: You can optionally add up to five (5) documents per question with more related information. When configured, a reference document appears as a link that the respondent can click to view the document in a pop-up window.
* **Minimum Answer Value** (_Number Question_ only): Specifies the lower range limit for valid responses as a number between -100,000,000 to 100,000,000, including up to nine (9) decimal places.
* **Maximum Answer Value** (_Number Question_ only): Specifies the upper range limit for valid responses as a number between -100,000,000 to 100,000,000, including up to nine (9) decimal places. The _Maximum Answer Value_ must be greater than the _Minimum Answer Value_ for number questions.
* **Decimal Places** (_Number Question_ only): Specifies the number of decimal places allowed in response to a number question as an integer from zero (0) to nine (9). The default if you do not specify a value for this field is zero (0) and checklist respondents must enter an integer (no decimal places) in number question responses.


## Available Answer Design

* **Answer Text**: Specifies the question's answer.
* **Score** (_Multiple Choice Questions_ only): Score is calculated against the _Weight%_ option that is set up for each section in the _Question_ level and by using the points value of each answered question in the _Answer_ level.
