Locked, Mandatory and Pre-filled Questions

There are 3 options for questions in Addo Forms:

1. Questions can be pre-filled either when making the Form template or before sending.
2. Questions can be marked as 'Mandatory'
3. Questions can be marked as 'Locked'.

Pre-filled

As a sender, you can pre-fill any answer while making the Form template, or before sending. This is useful if you are updating an existing agreement, and wish to save the respondent some time by not having to answer all the questions. A pre-filled answer can be edited by the respondent if needed.

Mandatory

As a sender, you can make a question 'mandatory' either when building the Form template or when sending the Form, and you do not have to answer the question before sending it.

As a respondent, you must answer a mandatory question using the options provided for answering, before you can complete the Form.

If the question is set to 'mandatory' the respondent can change the pre-filled answer, but cannot leave it blank.

Locked

As a sender, you can make the pre-filled answer to a question 'locked'. Locking or unlocking can happen when building your Form template (for repeated use), and when sending the Form (if needed). You cannot send the Form without pre-filling (answering) the locked question first, because a respondent will not be able edit any locked answers.

If the question is 'locked' it means that you as a sender must answer the question before sending it to the respondent, since the respondent cannot change a locked, pre-filled answer.
