Different types of questions can be added to a form in Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM) and Scholarship Lifecycle Manager (SLM). These question types allow for multiple methods of gathering information from applicants and other users in the system.
Text Questions
Text questions allow users to type their response to a question directly in the form. There are two types of text questions, Text Box and Text Area. Text Box questions typically capture short responses while Text Area questions can be used to capture longer responses. All questions on a form must have the Visibility and Required Type options set when creating the question.
Special Format Questions
Special format questions require users to enter a response in a specific format so that responses are consistent across all users.
