Resco Inspections utilizes the data-driven architecture rather than the metadata-driven approach. It means that the Resco Inspections data model (entities, fields, relationships) is already created, and when building a new custom questionnaire template you are not altering the data model – instead, you’re adding the entity records. As a consequence, the user who manages the questionnaire templates does not have to be a backend administrator since this user is not changing the data model. | |||

* ''' | * '''Questionnaire''' (resco_questionnaire) stores information about the questionnaire templates, snippets, and answered questionnaires. Each questionnaire can contain any number of question groups and questions. | ||
* ''' | * '''Question Group''' (resco_questiongroup) stores information about the question groups. Each question group can contain multiple questions. | ||
* ''' | * '''Question''' (resco_question) stores all the questions created for the questionnaire, as well as answers. The unformatted answer value can be found in the Value (resco_value) field; formatted value in the Value Label (resco_valuelabel) field. | ||
* ''' | * '''Questionnaire Folder''' (resco_questionnairefolder) stores information about the folder structure that organizes questionnaire templates in the designer. Each folder can contain multiple questionnaire templates. Usually, this entity does not need to be enabled in the app project. | ||
When an app user starts a questionnaire in the app, a new copy of the template is created. For an answered questionnaire, we store both questions and answers. This approach ensures that when you change your questionnaire template, existing answered questionnaires are not affected; historical records are not altered. | When an app user starts a questionnaire in the app, a new copy of the template is created.
