Adding questions to the questionnaire template

Creating DRL from the questionnaire template

You have the option to automatically request a document based on your client's response to a specific question from the questionnaire template. When your client answers the question, a document request is created automatically in your client's profile. Creating DRL from questionnaire responses helps you avoid the process of manually requesting documents after reviewing your client's questionnaire.

Before you start

Your firm must first enable the Questionnaire DRL feature. After the feature is enabled, you can begin modifying the questionnaire template to set up DRL.
