Supplemental questions are optional, extra questions that colleges can configure to display at the end of the on a page within the CCCApply Standard Application and the Noncredit Application, Noncredit, and International Applications.
Supplemental questions are written in XML and validated with XSD. You can create one or more sets of supplemental questions to be added to either your college's CCCApply Standard Application and/or the Noncredit Applicationapplications via the CCCApply Administrator tool. Only one supplemental question set can be active/display displayed at a time. The Configuring Application Supplemental Questions section of the CCCApply Administrator User Guide provides details on importing, updating, and exporting your Supplemental Question XML files.
If you want supplemental questions to display for in both the CCCApply Standard application and for the Noncredit applicationor all three CCCApply applications, you must configure and import an separate XML file files for each application.
Note: The Noncredit application is a workflow and subset of the CCCApply Standard applications questions that skips the residency check and military status questions for students who are only taking noncredit courses. See the Noncredit Application section of the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Application Data Dictionary for more details.
When you have your XML file ready, you import your XML supplemental questions in the CCCApply Administrator and then activate and deactivate question set(s) as you wish.

Understanding Active And Not Active Question Sets

Most of the contents of your XML file will depend on the questions you want to ask and the responses you expect to receive. For details on creating questions and guiding the student through the application process see Supplemental Questions: Layout And User Experience and Supplemental Questions: Response Elements.
Setting up Your XML File
...
Response elements can contain both <Label> and <HoverHelp> child elements to help guide the user through the application process. Certain attributes such as default and required can also be assigned to response elements for guiding the user. See Supplemental Questions: Layout And User Experience for details.
Each type of response element is associated with a group of fields in the database. Responses to <Checkbox> elements, for example, are stored in a group of fields whose names follow the pattern of supp_check_ followed by a two-digit number. There are 50 supp_check fields in the database, from supp_check_01 to supp_check_50. The id attribute you assign to each response element will determine which particular field the response is stored in.
...
In the database, a "1" would be stored into supp_yesno_01 if the applicant selected "Yes", or a "0" if the applicant selected.
