Yes/No Questions) maintenance document, which allows you to add new or modify existing certification questions for e-docs as business rules at your institution dictate as being necessary. The Yes/No Questions maintenance document is used to establish and maintain numeric codes and textual description values which are stored in database tables. This data serves as reference information that is made available for display and selection in various areas of the system, including other e-docs.

Caution: Some Y/N questions impact S2S submissions. Assess the impact on S2S submission before adding new questions/editing existing questions.
