Q&A
REFINED ANSWER PROCESS
During the answering process, users can submit answers-based comments, add quick references to the files in the data room, and attach documents to comments, improving the quality and accuracy of the responses. Users assigned to answer the questions can communicate privately, and the discussion is segregated only to the relevant members collaborating on their answer side.
AUTO-ASSIGN QUESTIONS TO EXPERTS
According to the question-based category, answers are assigned directly to experts without the need to route them manually. The answers coordinators can easily reassign experts and modify the workflow if and when needed. When the experts receive the questions, the question submitters’ PII is not disclosed, and their responses immediately route back to the answers coordinators.
CENTRALIZE THE COMMUNICATION
Centralize all the communication within the virtual data room. The module offers the same security and reliability that you experience with the VDR. While you can track everything and access insightful reports that ensure compliance, the confidential details of companies and people collaborating are never disclosed unless you need them to be.

Import and export multiple questions in bulk from Excel to and from the virtual data room, saving time and reducing the possibility of mistakes. The bulk process also allows for quick category, priority, and status updates.
FLEXIBLE WORKFLOW

While you can track all actions and messages, the questions and answers are automatically routed to the right users. The workflow aligns with the different available roles: question drafter, question submitter, answer coordinator, expert, and answer approver.
