Is it possible to import answers from previous responses
Yes, when exactly the same questions are used across two or more Projects.
In many industries, buyers re-use either part or all of previous questionnaires when creating a new RFP Project. In such cases, respondents who previously answered these questions can save the effort of re-keying similar responses by importing their answers from the previous response. Examples of situations where the same questionnaires are reused include:
- Regulated industries such as the UK healthcare sector - central goverment prescribes a standard "PQQ" - Pre-Qualification Questionnaire - which must be completed by all candidates.
- Consultant, or trade association body mediate industries - standard questionnaires are re-issued for all tenders.
Respondents can import question answers by looking under "Advanced Options" on the "Response Details" page. Answers can imported from previous responses where the same questions (same question ID) has been used. Answers can also be imported from an XML file in special cases where an organisation is migrating between different SupplierSelect websites.
