A questionnaire is a framework that consists of a set of questions or other types of prompts that aims to collect information from a user. The questionnaire can typically be a mix of close-ended and open-ended questions. The questionnaire helps gather information about a party (borrower, co-borrower, guarantor, and so on) or collateral as a part of the loan or lease origination process.
For example, a bank may perform necessary environmental due diligence while lending against a real estate property. For which an environmental questionnaire can be created to capture various details about a property to identify any known environmental risks. Based on the responses to the environmental questionnaire, the credit officer can mark property collateral as environmental risk or not. If the property is identified as an environmental risk, further actions can be taken.
In Q2 Origination, a questionnaire created on the Application object can be added to any application. Similarly, a questionnaire created on the Party object can be added to any party.

Based on the responses to this environmental questionnaire, the credit officer marks whether the property is an environmental risk.
The Environmental Inquiry questionnaire is created with the following two questions:
-
Question 1: The Answer Type for this question is defined as a picklist, so the users can select any of the given options; Yes/No.
