# Create questionnaire

> Build a custom questionnaire in Liveclin: cover, questions, weights by goal, and required fields, before you save.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, you need:

* A Liveclin account with access to **Settings**.
* To have completed the welcome tour in [getting started](/en/tutoriais/comece-aqui/primeiros-passos), where the platform's principles are introduced.
* At least a few questions available. See how to [create and customize questions](/en/tutoriais/questionarios/criar-perguntas).

## Step by step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the questionnaires screen">
    In the sidebar, go to **Settings → Questionnaires** and open **Questionnaires**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the questionnaire and set the title">
    Click **Add**, in the top-right corner, and set a **title** for the questionnaire — for example, "Weekly review".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a cover image">
    Upload the cover image, adjust the framing, and click **Apply** to save it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the questions">
    Click **Add question**. Check the questions you want to include — you'll see both your own and Liveclin's predefined ones. To create a new one right there, use **Create question** (details in [create and customize questions](/en/tutoriais/questionarios/criar-perguntas)).

    Once selected, click **Add**. They appear listed in the questionnaire.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the preview">
    Click **Preview** to see the questionnaire exactly as your patient will answer it, including the result screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the weight of each question">
    The **weight** adjusts how much each question influences the final score, based on the patient's goal. For a body-definition goal, for example, you might give weight 5 to aerobic frequency and plan adherence, and weight 4 to sleep hours and sleep quality.

    Well-defined weights make the final score more realistic relative to the client's answers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mark what is required">
    For each question, choose whether the answer is **required** or optional. Clear the requirement where it makes sense — for example, body weight.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and save">
    Review the entire questionnaire before saving.

    <Warning>
      After you save, you **cannot edit or remove** the questions in the questionnaire. If you find a mistake, fix it before saving.
    </Warning>

    When everything is right, click **Save**. Your questionnaire is created.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After saving: what you can and can't do

Liveclin locks editing and deleting saved questions to preserve the answer history and the progress charts, avoiding incompatibilities. Even so, you have options:

* **Hide a question:** clear the **Show** option. The question stops appearing to respondents, but the entire answer history is kept.
* **"Edit" a question:** duplicate the question, edit the copy, and disable the original (leaving **Show** off).
* **Add questions:** you can include new questions at any time, with no restriction.
