Note

Permissions for creating questions are as follows: account administrators can create questions for anyone, group admins can create questions for group members, and direct managers can create questions for their direct reports. If you do not have account admin, group admin, or direct manager permissions in 15Five, you will see a 403 error when attempting to access the Question bank.

Tip

We recommend only adding up to five questions to individual Check-ins so Check-ins don't get too long. 15Five's name is derived from the idea that Check-ins should take around 15 minutes for employees to fill out, and managers should take around five minutes to review an employee's Check-in. You can see a list of all questions that appear or will appear on a person's Check-in for a specific reporting period using question preview.


Add a Question bank question to a Check-in

  1. Click the Set up button next to the question you'd like to add to Check-ins.
