Test Sign-Offs – Configuring Test Questions

Test Sign-Offs provide web-based forms for collecting and managing test information across applications and other modules in ManagementStudio. Contributors can complete these forms without a ManagementStudio logon.

There are two primary configuration areas that determine the functionality and appearance of Test Sign-Offs:

Test Questions: Define the headings, question text, input types, and available options in each Test Type.
Question Layout: Configure the appearance, visibility, position, size, mandatory status, and tooltips for Test Questions. See Test Settings – Question Layout for more details.

This article details how to configure the Test Questions tab within a Test Type. Although examples reference the Application module, Test Types can also be used with Users, Devices, Mailboxes, Deployment Units, Bespoke, and Defect modules.

Accessing the Test Questions Tab

To configure Test Questions:

Navigate to Administration → Portal Settings → Test Sign-Offs.
Expand the relevant module containing your required Test Type.
On the Test Sign-Offs page:
- Select New Test Sign-Off and choose a module to create a new test, or
- Select an existing test from the tree view on the left.
Click the Test Questions tab to open the Test Questions grid.

The grid displays all existing questions for the selected Test Type. Add new questions using the Click here to add new item option.

Test Questions Grid

The Test Questions grid lists all configured questions for the selected Test Type, with the following configurable fields:

Grid Column	Description	Required
`Field Label`	The question text as presented to the user (e.g. "Did the correct version install?").	Yes
`Display As`	The input control type (e.g., Text, Radio Button, Date). Refer to Custom Forms – Control Types for a full list.	Yes
`Options`	The selectable options for the chosen control type. For details, refer to Custom Forms – Control Options.	No
`Default`	The predetermined value or state (where supported), such as pre-selecting "Yes" for a Yes/No question. Date and Time controls default to the current date/time.	No
`Visible`	Specifies if the question is shown. By default, questions are visible. Deselecting this hides the question but does not delete it from the system. Use `Delete` to remove permanently.	Yes
`History`	If enabled, records changes to this field indefinitely. By default, up to five field changes are recorded. Enable only as necessary, as using `History` on multiple fields increases database usage.	No
`FId`	The internal field identifier automatically created by ManagementStudio.	Yes
`Delete`	Marks the question for deletion. Enable `Delete` and select `Save Changes` to remove the question.	No
