Add “Submit & Close” Option for Questionnaires to Improve Workflow Completion

When completing a questionnaire, users currently only have the option to Submit, which leaves the questionnaire object open and in focus within the UI. Unlike other objects in the platform, there is no ability to submit and automatically return to the related parent object or workflow screen.

We would like to introduce a “Submit & Close” action for questionnaires. After submission, the user would automatically be redirected back to the associated object (for example, a Control Test, Risk Assessment, or Impact Assessment) so they can continue the workflow without needing to manually close the questionnaire.

This enhancement would address a recurring usability issue where users assume the process is complete once the questionnaire has been submitted. Because the questionnaire remains open, users often do not return to the parent workflow to review response-driven outcomes, complete follow-up actions, or progress the assessment/test to completion. As a result, risk professionals are required to follow up with users to complete workflows that were unintentionally left incomplete.

User feedback consistently describes the current experience as “clunky” due to the additional manual steps required to close each questionnaire and navigate back to the related object.

Adding a “Submit & Close” option would:

• Reduce unnecessary clicks and navigation steps
• Create a more intuitive workflow experience
• Improve completion rates for assessments and control testing processes
• Reduce user confusion after questionnaire submission
• Minimise manual follow-up by risk professionals
• Align questionnaire behaviour with other object submission patterns in the platform

This enhancement would improve overall usability and help users move seamlessly through end-to-end workflow processes.
