  • Screen Definition ID: The unique identifier of the Questionnaire Definition (a.k.a. the Questionnaire Definition ID) in the Questionnaire / Tax Organizer application.

The value of this field must be an positive integer and can be any value so long as it is not used in another Questionnaire Screen Definition record.

  • Screen Name: The description of the Questionnaire / Tax Organizer. For example: 2020 U.S. Tax Organizer

This is needed to associate the correct Questionnaire Definition with the checklist item, and can be the same as the name in Tax Organizer in PinPoint. The value entered cannot be used in another Questionnaire Screen Definition record.

  • Type: Possible options are: <Questionnaire> and <Tax Organizer>. When <Tax Organizer> is selected, two more fields are displayed. Populate the Country and Tax Year Ending using the drop down menus and click [Save].
