Drop-down questions

For request for information and request for proposal events and templates, you can create drop-down questions. With drop-down questions, you can control the available answers, making it easier for you to analyze responses and for suppliers to respond to your events. For each question, you must define at least two answer options and can add up to 50 answers. When adding and sorting your responses for questions, keep in mind that suppliers will see the first five responses and then will scroll to view additional options.
