# Questionnaire

The Questionnaire Step allows you to gather essential information from users through customized forms. This step can be tailored to include various questions relevant to your compliance process.

* Add the `Questionnaire step` into the flow canvas at the appropriate position.
* Click on `Questionnaire step` to open its configuration options.
* Select the desired questionnaire schema from the dropdown menu.
* `Verification validity period` - defines how long the **verification result** remains valid after it has been successfully completed. Once the validity period expires, the user must complete the verification step again.
