When completing an assessment you can enable the option to view previous responses to the questions within the assessment.

To turn this optional feature on, navigate to the assessment type’s (fit & proper/attestation/good repute etc.) set up page and select the button on the right-hand side titled ‘Assessment settings’.

Once this option has been turned on, the respondent will be able to see a ‘View previous response’ link alongside each question.

Clicking this will show the question text (as it was at the time of the previous response), the yes/no answer, and the additional details. Next to the additional details is a copy symbol. This is a shortcut that will automatically ‘copy’ the additional details.

Things to be aware of:
If a question has been updated since the previous assessment, the previous response will still be displayed, but must be carefully reviewed as it may no longer be relevant to the question. A warning will display on the ‘Update question’ page to remind the user of this possibility.

There will also be a warning when viewing the previous response.

If multiple attestations is turned on, each attestation template will be treated as a separate set of responses. A question can be used in multiple attestation templates, but only the previous response from an assessment using the same template will show.
