The P.20.03 Questionnaire screen can be called from the menu branch in Smart Materials. Company self-registration in Smart Materials Portal is described in detail in Register for the Smart Materials Portal.

When you open the screen from the menu, you will be prompted to select a company from the LOV in the Company field. To restrict the list of available companies, select one of the following options:

  • Show only companies without submitted qualifications - Selecting this option causes the Company LOV to display only those companies that have not yet submitted the qualifications part of the questionnaire. These companies do not yet appear on the P.20.01 Suppliers/Subcontractors screen.

  • Show only companies with submitted qualifications - Choosing this option causes the Company LOV to display only those companies that have already submitted their qualifications part of the questionnaire. This option is preselected by default.

  • Show all companies - If selected, the Company LOV displays all companies without taking into account their specific level of completion of the qualifications part of the questionnaire.

After selecting the company from the LOV, click the Continue button. If you click Cancel, the screen is closed.

The Questionnaire Tree is displayed as shown in the picture above, with the top level nodes:

  • Login Details

  • Company Profile

  • Qualifications

Data are displayed here in a hierarchical order in a tree, reflecting the structure of the questionnaire. Each node of the tree corresponds to a certain level of the questionnaire, as defined on P.10.25 Question List. For more information, see Question List.

The color of the associated icons indicates the completeness of the answers to the questions related to the selected node.

  • Red - There are mandatory questions that have not been answered yet on the node's level or on any of its sub-levels.

  • Yellow - All mandatory questions have been answered, but answers to one or more optional questions on the selected level or any of its sub-levels are still missing.

  • Green - Both mandatory and optional questions on the selected level as well as on all its sub-levels have been answered.

To view the sub-nodes of the next lower level, click the + (plus) symbol in front of a node. If no + (plus) or - (minus) is shown, there are no child nodes available underneath the node.

At the left of the tree you can find buttons to expand, collapse, or refresh the tree nodes.

Click the Expand button to expand the selected node so that the sub nodes of the next level are displayed.

Click the Collapse button to hide the levels below the selected node.

Click the Expand All button to completely expand the selected node so that you can see all sub-levels.

Click the Collapse All button to collapse the selected node and hide all its sub-nodes.

You can use the Refresh All button if you want to refresh all the data in the questionnaire tree.

Whenever you select a node, a detail window is opened to the right of the tree, displaying all questions defined for the selected node, including the answers that have already been entered. If you select the Login Details top level node, the P.20.02 Login Requests screen opens and displays all data entered in the first step of the company registration.

For more information about the fields, see Login Requests.

If you select the Company Profiles or the Qualifications top level node or any of its sub-nodes, Window 2 opens and displays the corresponding questions and answers.

You can use the Submit button to submit your set of answers for the company profile or qualifications and the selected material/work groups for approval. The Submit button will be deactivated after submission. Answers cannot be modified once they have been submitted.

Submission will not be possible unless all mandatory questions have been answered and at least one material/work group has been entered.

To create a revision of the company profile, click the Revision button. The software creates a copy of the set of answers belonging to the company profile or qualifications.

The Revision button will be disabled as long as the most recent revision is not submitted for approval.
