Merging a PDF Questionnaire from Data

There will be times when you may wish to send a client a Questionnaire and have it pre-populated with details of the client's previous application which you already have in  Migration Manager.  

The questionnaires enable a client to provide an agent with nearly* all the relevant information for the type of visa that is being applied for. The ability to use many aspects of the program including Letter and Form merging, eLodge etc is highly dependent on good data being in Migration Manager. The questionnaires provide an easy method for an agent to be able to collect this data and import it into Migration Manager.

*Please note that the questionnaire tries to cover the majority of data points required for the majority of all visas. Due to the number of visas and the resulting number of questions the questionnaire is not able to cover a 100% of the field. We aim to refine the questionnaires over time to improve coverage.

You also have the ability to Merge a Web Questionnaire from existing data.  If you are using Web Questionnaires, see the guide How to send a Web Questionnaire and point 4.2 for Merging from Existing Data.
