How to Create a Question

How to Create a Custom Question in the Drip7 Platform

This guide outlines the process for creating a new question in the Drip7 platform library.

Log in to the Drip7 platform using your admin credentials on desktop computer to access the Drip7 admin portal.
Navigate to the content management section, labeled “Content,” where you can create and manage questions.

Start by creating a category to organize your new question thematically, acting as a folder for related content, in the “Category” tab.
- Example: For a question related to phishing, create a category named “Phishing Awareness” or “October Cybersecurity Month.”

In the content management area, click the “Create Question” button to start building a new question from the template.
Alternatively, if uploading multiple questions, use Drip7’s provided spreadsheet template for bulk uploads, which automatically creates a category if none is associated. This guide focuses on single-question creation.

Question Name and Text: Enter the question name and text, keeping them identical for consistency in the platform’s search functionality. Example: “What is a common method used in social engineering attacks?” on both “Name” fields. [A numbering scheme to ensure question delivery flow accuracy when building a curriculum later is also recommended.]
Category Association: Tag the question with the category created in Step 2 (e.g., “Phishing Awareness”) to ensure proper organization.
Content Type: Choose the content type to enhance the question, such as text, image, video, or infographic. For example, attach a short video demonstrating a phishing email.
Question Format: Select the question type from the available options:
- True/False
- Multiple Choice (presented as buttons or checkboxes)
- Fill-in-the-Blank
- Slider
- Checkbox
- QR Code
- No-Answer (content-only, no user input required)
- Example: For a fill-in-the-blank question like “Social ____ is a common cybersecurity threat,” specify correct answers (e.g., “Engineering,” “Engineer,” “Engineers”) and include common misspellings to allow flexible user responses.

For questions requiring user input (e.g., fill-in-the-blank or multiple choice), define the correct answers and any acceptable variations. Example: Accept “sometimes” or “yes” for a fill-in-the-blank question about phishing frequency.

Use the preview tab to verify the question’s appearance and functionality from the user’s perspective, ensuring it aligns with the intended learning objective.
Save the question to add it to the Drip7 library under the selected category. Recall that question using the “category” filter in on the Content homepage. (Tip: Type your category name in that field instead of scrolling to save time!)
