Managing Questionnaires

This content applies solely to Connected Claims, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 23.4 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

Introduction

The Connected Claims solution allows you to configure questionnaires to collect the information you need, then utilize that information internally across multiple tasks in your workflows. Additionally, when you need to collect information from a broader audience that includes external users, you can configure questionnaires and publish them externally through your Survey Monkey or WhatsApp integrations.

In this section, you will learn how to view, create, and modify questionnaires that enable your data collection process and publish questionnaires across multiple channels.

To help get you started, Connected Claims ships with a set of default questionnaires for each line of business you support. These default questionnaires are available under the Questionnaire configurations immediately after you install the Connected Claims solution. You can view, manage, modify, and create new questionnaires from the Questionnaires configuration card from the CONFIGURATION page.

The Questionnaires page is divided into the following tabs:

  1. QUESTIONNAIRE: This view allows business users with access to manage all questionnaires configured for your organization by viewing and modifying existing questionnaires and creating new questionnaires.
  2. PUBLISH ON SURVEY MONKEY: This view allows business users with access to questionnaires published through Survey Monkey.
  3. PUBLISH CLAIM INTAKE QUESTIONNAIRE: This view allows business users with access to intake questionnaires published through WhatsApp.

Each tab provides a different view of questionnaires configured for your organization, including questionnaires published through external channels.

Viewing and managing all questionnaires

When you select this configuration, the QUESTIONNAIRE tab displays by the default and shows you a complete list of all questionnaires for your organization.

You can search the list of questionnaires by name to locate a specific one or you can filter the list to return all questionnaires created or modified by a specific user.

From this view, you can also create a new questionnaire or modify an existing questionnaire.

Managing questionnaires published via Survey Monkey

The PUBLISH ON SURVEY MONKEY tab displays a complete list of questionnaires that your organization published via your Survey Monkey integration with Connected Claims.

Connected Claims makes it easy to take action on your questionnaires published on Survey Monkey by allowing you to re-publish, send feedback, or view survey responses for a specific questionnaire directly from the page.

For example, clicking the VIEW RESPONSES link associated with the Customer NPS Feedback will open the Feedback Response(s) of Questionnaire Customer NPS Feedback view and display a list of all the feedback responses captured for this survey. Connected Claims makes it easy to drill down into individual customer feedback. Simply click the eye icon associated with the customer feedback you want to review to see each survey question and the customer's answer.
