    Associated Question Library

    Optional. Associating this question with a question library adds the question to those in the library for display to candidates. The header and footer text defined for the library is also displayed when displaying the question.

    The Display order for this question is respected when displaying the questions in the associated library. For example, if the associated question library contains four questions with display orders 1, 2, 3, and 4, ensure the display order for this question is 0, to display it first, or greater than 4 to display it last.

    Display order for other questions not in the associated library is also respected but they are displayed outside the associated library block. For example:

    Question 1
    Question 2

    Associated library header text
    This question
    Associated library question 1
    Associated library question 2
    Associated library question 3
    Associated library question 4
    Associated library footer text

    Question 3
    Question 4

    Typically used when you have a vacancy specific question supplementing a range of questions contained in a library but you do not want the question to be included every time you use the library.
