Why is the Questionnaire protected?

If you are filling out a Questionnaire as part of your Submission, you are only permitted to fill out the Response and Comment columns. All other aspects of the sheet are protected to ensure that the format is not altered.

The Comment column is where the Buyer may request more detail or an explanation, a text-based answer you type in. In the example below, the Buyer indicates the Comment cell should be left blank for the first question. For the second question, the Buyer indicates a Comment is required, so you have to input a Comment for that question to complete the Questionnaire Template:

You may see some questions where there is a hyphen or dash in the Response column. You can provide a free-form answer in either the Response or Comment column.

Note that the adjacent cell changes from pink to green to indicate a particular question is complete.

If you try to type your answer over any of the formatted cells (question, #, or Title cells), you see a popup similar to the screenshot below:

If you try to unprotect the cell, you are prompted to enter a password. This protects the correct formatting of the Questionnaire; to type your answer, move to the correct cell (Response or Comment columns).

It is important that you complete the Questionnaire as it is formatted; otherwise, you cannot upload it to the Euna Procurement Portal.
