# Add an element

To add an element or question to a feedback process's questionnaire:

1. [Open the questionnaire editor](/en/c/feedbacks/edit-questionnaire).
2. In the editor, all pages of the questionnaire are listed one below the other, with a visible page break between them.

6. The form for the chosen type opens. Enter the question title for the reviewee (for example the employee).

:::info
For two-sided feedback processes, you can set different question titles for the reviewee and the reviewer (for example the supervisor). For one-sided processes, only the first title is used.

:::

7. If needed, enter a separate question title for the reviewer (for example the supervisor). If you leave this field empty, the first title is used for both perspectives automatically.

8. Optional: In the **Hint** field, enter a text that is shown to all participants below the question title.

## Configuring the settings

Different settings are available depending on the question type.

### Required question and notes

* **Required question**: Select this checkbox if participants must answer the question. In the text field next to it, you can set your own hint that appears when the answer is missing.
* **Enable notes**: Select this checkbox to let participants add extra notes to the question.

This area is split into tabs plus a separate layout section:

#### Perspectives

Here you decide which perspectives the question is visible to. By default, the question is visible to all perspectives. Select individual checkboxes to show the question only to certain perspectives (for example only to the reviewee or only to the supervisor).

As soon as you select at least one perspective, the extra option **Show to all perspectives in results** appears. Use it to make the answers visible to all perspectives in the results view even so.

#### User groups

Restrict visibility to specific user groups. By default, the question is visible to all user groups.

#### User fields

Restrict visibility to users with specific field values. This tab is only shown when matching user fields are configured in the system.

#### Editions

Shows the feedback process's editions. Completed editions are locked and cannot be changed.

#### Layout & design

Below the tabs you find the **Layout & Design** section with these options:

* **Hide title during participation** hides the question title while participants fill out the questionnaire.
* **Display without vertical padding** removes the spacing to the previous question.
