Inherited Questionnaires

Questionnaires are inherited from the main site to other sites. As a reseller, you can transfer your standard questionnaire to all sites in this way.

However, you should configure individual questionnaires for customers directly in their site. Otherwise, customers could see who else is a customer of yours (including potentially personal data like names).

Example

You have a main site. You set up a new site for Customer A. Later, you set up a new site for Customer B. Customer B wants a custom questionnaire. You should create it within the configuration of the site for Customer B.
