In HRCenter admin, you can create surveys for applicants or employees to fill out. Surveys can be tests with correct answers, questionnaires, or even help populate a form(see Mobile Forms). In addition to being able to create questions, you can also have some data pre-populate or save to the employee's record in Enterprise or Beyond.

What are Prefilling and Postfilling?
Prefilling in HRCenter Admin allows you to fill in a survey answer based on information on the employee's record. For example, if you asked the question on your survey: "What is your first name?" you could have the answer fill in with the employee first name that you have on file. This can help the survey process go faster when employees only need to review some information instead of entering it again.
Postfilling in HRCenter Admin allows your employees' answers to specific questions to automatically save on to the employee's record. For example, if you asked on your survey: "What is your date of birth?" you could have the answer that the employee provides save on their record under date of birth.
How to Setup Prefills and Postfills
In order to have information prepopulate or save to the employee's record, you will need to utilize the preset names in your questions on the survey and then enter the procedure names on the final page. If you've never created a survey before, check out How to Create Surveys.
*Note* Prefilling and Postfilling only works with Textbox, TextArea, and Date Answer Types.
