As part of completing some work orders and tasks, Field Service agents fill out questionnaires or complete check lists.

Questionnaires gathers different types of information from Field Service agents, such as verifying their compliance with the generic Field Service process while working on the task.

Administrators can create questionnaire records and associate those records with work orders or work order tasks. For example, an agent might need to complete a safety check list before starting work on a task or fill out an inspection
questionnaire before completing a work order. The administrator can also make filling out the questionnaire mandatory before an agent closes a task.  
Questionnaire records include some configuration information, such as the condition or event that triggers the questionnaire, as well as the list of questions included in the questionnaire.  
Note:  
Configuring questionnaires is optional.

Questionnaire for a work order task can be either a survey-based questionnaire or a smart assessment.
