Scoring
What is Scoring?
Scoring is a way to assign points to users' results. Scoring can be set for most results-accepting non-Formatting items, except for Matrix/Grid Items, Captcha, and Attachment, Rating/Ranking, and Form Login items.
Setup Scoring
Define a scoring amount for a compatible item by going to "Form->Edit", editing the item, and clicking the Scoring tab. You can choose between two different methods for assigning points: "Entire Item" and "Each Value" (or "Each Choice").
The "Entire Item" mode will allow you to enter a single point value that the item is worth. Below that you can then enter, or select, the correct choices, depending on the item type. Finally, Checkbox-based items have a "Require Choices" field where you can select between requiring only at least one of the correct choices ("Any"), or requiring all of them and no incorrect choices ("All").
Text-based items also have the "Each Value" method, where you can enter one or more correct text values along with a points amount that will be given if the user types in that exact value (case insensitive).
Radio button and Checkbox items have the "Each Choice" method which is similar, but instead allow you to set different points amounts for the choices that are configured on the main Settings tab.
Viewing Scoring
You can view detailed information about scores for your results at the "Results->Reports->Scoring Report" page. The Scoring Report contains many detailed reports and charts that can be created for your results, and embedded on your own pages by using the "Share" code.
Scoring information can be viewed in other results formats. It appears as a normal column in such places as the "Results->Summary Table" page and in Results Downloads. It is also available to show/hide using Results Views. Scoring can also be included in other form and results features, such as Notifications and Success Pages.
Piping can be used to show a result's total points score as well as the maximum possible total score for the form, using the "[pipe:total_score]" and "[pipe:max_score]" piping codes, respectively.
Additional Information
The default labels that are used on the Scoring Summary can be changed at the "Form->Custom Text" page.
The Total Score of a user's response can be used in Skip/Branch rules and Conditional Logic for Notifications.
Scoring Report statistics are based on the stored results, and population standard deviation and variance calculations are used.
