Survey helps the Sales reps to capture data points from the field which can further be used to derive business actions. Hence it is very essential not only to capture the correct data but also aid the user in correcting erroneous data.
Exceptions for answers in surveys helps in identifying invalid responses in real time and offer additional information based on predefined conditions. Exception helps in identifying potential user errors such as entering a product price that is too low or too high. This feature allows user to correct their entry before submitting the survey, and therefore creates more accurate data reporting overall.
Exceptions are available against each question of a checklist survey and against each product for a product based survey.
