This guide applies to creating a new questionnaire or customizing an existing questionnaire. The process is the same for both cases.

Creating a new questionnaire in NutriAdmin is easy. You can watch the following two videos explaining how the process works step-by-step.

You have two options when you add a new field. You can either create a new field or use an existing field.

  • Create new field - create a field from scratch.
  • Use existing field - if you have an existing field from another questionnaire or NutriAdmin's default questionnaires that contains the same content as the field you're trying to add, you can copy it directly. This will save you time from manually typing in field details.

Use existing field

Once you choose Use existing field, other existing questionnaires you saved and defaullt questionnaires from NutriAdmin will be shown.

Select the questionnaire where the existing fields you want to copy are located. In this example, I'm going to use Questionnaire linked to overview fields.

You can now select the field that you need.

Then, insert it wherever you want it to appear. In this case, since we just created this questionnaire, there are no other options yet.

Questionnaire linked to overview fields

Just a brief overview of this specific default questionnaire: it contains fields with information that, once the client answers them, will automatically be reflected in the client overview on your dashboard. This includes the following:

  • Date of Birth
  • Height (cm, ft with decimals, or ft/inches)
  • Weight (kg or lbs)
  • Gender
  • Are you pregnant or lactating?
  • Body Fat %
  • Activity level

Create new field

When you create a new field, you will see four sections.

Field Name - This is where you type in your questions or short instructions.
Field Category - You can select a category for specific fields. This can help in generating reports. For more information about this, read more here.
Field Preview - This is a preview on what the field would look like in a client's point of view.
