Location Master Question Set
The Location Master Question Set (LMQS) is an aggregate list of questions Bold Penguin has normalized across carriers in support of question sets containing multiple locations, buildings, and job classifications. For additional information or example payloads please reach out to your enterprise support team. These question codes should generally not be used in place of Master Question Set codes when starting a quote using the Create Application Form endpoint, or the Send to Exchange endpoint.
About Pooled Question Sets
Certain Master Questions (MQS) support the ability to accept multiple answers (e.g. multiple locations, vehicles, drivers, etc.). These types of master questions may be grouped together to form "question pools". A group of answers that are generated from questions that are in a question pool are known as "answer pools". A unique ID property is assigned to each question and answer pool called question_pool_id and answer_pool_id respectively.
