Scoring and Reporting

Hello, again.

I've enabled the Scoring feature now, and I've gotten a document from the person who manages this that outlines the weights for each question.  For the multipunch questions, they get a score for each one, eg, 0.7 per answer selected.  So, for the entire question, they could potentially score 3.5.

Any question that has a score will be included, but TBH, the whole Report should have every question and answer, along with the final score and comment. :)

After you inserted the weights and there are further questions, please send the lss export.

Hello, again. I'm trying to add the scoring now, but whenever I hit save or Save and Close/Exit, I get an error 'Could not save answer'. It doesn't tell me why, which is really frustrating. No error code either. Can you think why it wouldn't allow me to enter Assessment values?

Hi,
this is what I wrote:

We really have no crystal ball to see what you do.

Thanks, Joffm, but LimeSurvey isn't letting me insert the weights. I keep getting an error message when I try: 'Could not save answer'.
Would you know why it won't allow me to assign weights?

I'll attach the LSS, and maybe you can see why it won't allow me to add the weights.

Hi,
are you sure this is the correct survey?

I see that you activated "Assessment values", but no values are entered in your answer options.
And I do not see any equations to calculate.

Where do you display your results?

Sorry, Joffm, but LS won't let me add Values! :(
If I try to add a value of .75 or 1.5, I get an error.

It appears to only allow whole numbers, and we often assign values like 0.75 or 1.5. Is there a workaround?

Oh,
of course not. No decimals, only whole numbers
But that's no problem.
Just multiply with 10, 100, or so to get whole numbers.
And if it's only something like .25, .5, .75, it's suficient to multiply by 4 and you get 1,2,3,4

When you calculate later you divide respectively.

Thanks. I think it'll be easiest to multiply by 10 and divide by 10 later. I'll give that a go this week and try to upload the file by Friday. Thanks again for your help and guidance :)
It's honestly greatly appreciated.

Hello, again.  I seem to have hit an unusual snag.
I've just finished assigned scores to the questions in Section 1. In this section, I had 'Code - Assessment Value - Answer options'.
When I move down to the next Section, however, and go to the first question, the 'Assessment Value' is gone.  Instead, the Headings are 'Code - Subquestion - Relevance Equation'?!  As stated, the ability to add 'Assessment Values' has disappeared?

Have we done something wrong in the way we set up the Survey, so that it will only allow Assessments for certain sections or questions?

Thanks for any advice.

Can you provide screenshots?

What is the next section? Section 1(contd)?
Here the first question is a multiple question, where there are no indivisual values.
If you want to you have to use an IF-statement. 
But how do you want to score a multiple question?

Hello again.
Yes: Section 1 (Contd) S1Q3b

Screenshots below.  The Question is a Multiple Choice, and it would be scored accordingly:
No - 0
Yes: to reduce significant environmental impacts - 75
Yes, and we publish our strategy and details of key initiatives  -100
Yes: to reduce or eliminate our significant environmental impacts AND this commitment is aligned with a reputable external initiative… - 150

For a 'Select all that apply' option, they get (for example) 70 points (which will be divided by 100) for each checkbox they select.

Thanks :)

Multipunch questions are strange when it comes to assessment values. They simply apply 1 point per ticked checkbox, afaik.

You'll need to calculate your score for 5his question in a hidden equation question I guess. 
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

Yes, 1 is the default setti8ng.
But you can change it in the question settings.
 
Anyway: There is no big difference in the equation:
{count(that.Q1.NAOK)*weight} vs. {count(that.Q1.valueNAOK)}

Joffm
And try to avoid "multiple choice".
This has an ambiguous meaning.
In some countries
1 out of many : multiple choice
x out of many: multiple response

In other countries - and LimeSurvey
1 out of many : single choice
x out of many: multiple choice

Better you use the LimeSurvey naming
