This section allows you to create custom questions to ask potential volunteers on their application.
A typical full application form on Assemble consists of the following sections:
Basic details
Your address
About you
Documents
References
Diversity
Review & apply
📌 Note: The sections described above might differ based on organisation.
You can add application questions to any section except Diversity. There are many different question types you can use such as text, radio button and checkbox.
The answers to the application questions are stored on the application and aren't transferred to the user's record.
You can view the application form and answers to the questions but the data remains with the application.
If you need the information in the user record after they've completed the recruitment process, or if you need to record the same information for existing volunteers, use the Custom field functionality instead. Custom fields can also be set to be visible on the application form.
Add or modify questions
To create a new question:
Drag and drop the type from the right menu to the relevant section of the application form.
You can drag questions within a section to re-order them. Questions can't be dragged from one section to another.
Type in the question as you'd like it to appear on the form.
Depending on the field type, you may then be asked to enter further information like drop-down values.
Specify which applicants should be asked this question. Select whether to ask it of all applicants or only those applying for specific roles.
📌 Note: If you don't select a role or mark as global, the question will only save as a draft and won't display on any application forms.
Global
Questions can be global, meaning it will be asked on opportunities for all roles. You don't need to update the application question to apply it to new role profiles, or you can restrict it to one or more roles in the selector.
Compulsory
Compulsory questions have to be answered before an application can be submitted.
Delete questions
If you would like to delete a question, click the question and then click Remove.
⚠️ Warning: This will permanently remove the question and you won't be able to see any of the answers previously provided.
