Register-type Questions

When adding a register-type question, a pre-created register field must already exist within a register before it can be added to an assessment. 

In most cases, it is advised that customers use register-type questions, especially when they want the responses provided to feed into a register record that can then be reported on within Privacy Reporting. 

Register-type questions can also populate certain reports within the Privacy Dashboard, and rules can be applied to them using the Rulebase feature. 

Assessment-type Questions

Assessment-type questions can be quickly added to assessments, as they do not require a pre-existing register field to link to. 

These are typically used when there is no requirement to report on the data within a register or through Register Reporting, e.g. Yes/No dependent questions or those that do not require the responses to the question to trigger rules via the Rulebase feature.
