following features on your cell phone?", then the answers must be equal to
100 percent. The values might be e-mail, texting, voice, and GPS, and the user

The GRC Manager Survey Tool provides choice sets which contain appropriate
answers to the questions. You can specify an existing choice set or create a new one.
If you choose an existing choice set, you can edit it to suit your needs. For example,
you can select a choice set that contains the values
Yes
and
No
, and create your own
value of
Maybe
, or you could select the choice set of
High
,
Medium
, and
Low
and
delete
Medium
. You can then save any new combination of answers as another
choice set for use in the future.
Managing survey choice sets
Choice sets
are a collection of answers to be used as a shortcut for completing
questions. For example, a choice set could contain the answers:
I agree
,
I Disagree
or
High
,
Medium,
Low
or
Yes
,
No
. The answers could be appropriate for a very
large number of questions. Using choice sets provides reusability of answers as
well as consistent recognition to the same answer across questions.
