The manual says that "the assessments only show on the final "completed" page after submitting a survey. "

But where can I edit that page? How can I add the necessary placeholders to display the results?
I tried to add {PERC} and {TOTAL} to the end message (editlocalsettings) of my survey, but nothing happens.

I would like to display the results of group 1, group 2 and the total.

Is there a sample survey I could use for inspiration?

Hi,

Assesments text result are done on "Assessments" management adminpage. Look at the manual : www.limesurvey.org/manual/Assessments#Define_assessment_rules

This text are added before the default thanks page.

Is there any reason for using assessments, now you can do everything (and much more and easier) with EM? I never used assessments, but I have the impression that assessments are supported since 2.0 only for compatibility reasons with old surveys.

Hi Frans, I agree that assessments can mostly be replaced by Expression Manager but I still periodically find them useful to augment EM with the Qcode.value variable.

For me EM isn't that easy though…
I try to figure out the following scenario:
1. I managed to calculate the assessment values of a number of array questions = equation type question
2. If the score <= n1 I would like to show question 2a, if score is > n1 && < n2 I'ld show question 2b, if > n2 I would like to show question 3b.
Can you put me on track?
Much appreciated!

If you are using a basic array with question code "q1" and sub-question codes "SQ001, SQ002, SQ003, SQ004, SQ005", then the equation for the assessment "score" for q1 would be:

Got that, thanks! I managed to calculate a score = part 1 of my question.

And now for the second part of my question: how to show conditional feedback according to the score one got?
If the score <= n1 I would like to show question 2a, if score is > n1 && < n2 I'ld show question 2b, if > n2 I would like to show question 3b.
I suppose I need a relevance equation for questions 2a, 2b and 2c?

I have the same question - completing the 'Assessment rules' does not deliver the end result on the page...

I have looked at using EM which is something I could probably figure out, but for others using LS it may be a bridge too far. And it would be great if they could use standard functionality. Too bad the result cannot be stored in the database...

Also, I think I found a bug in the system... When adding 'answer options' in the question (when assessments have been turned on), the newly added line only shows 2 fields - the 'assessment' field is missing... You need to save the answer options and then reopen for the field to appear.



Thanks!

Regarding your first point, you can file a feature request.

Regarding your first point, please file a bug report.

Hi Tony,

thank you for the response - I will raise a bug report for the second one.

Re the first one - I thought the display of the results was a standard functionality of the Assessments - am I wrong? (from the manual: "because the assessments only show on the final "completed" page after submitting a survey.") - should I raise another bug report for that one?

Re the save in database - here you're correct, perhaps that would be a new feature request.

Thanks,
Bernard.

Note that you can use Expression Manager to load assessment values into equation type questions - Qcode.value - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man...#Access_to_Variables

You can also use Expression Manager to display conditional text to show your own assessments report anywhere in the survey.

Bug report raised for the first issue: 11884

Re the assessment results - I think I need to do some more digging to see if the 'completed' page still has the reference to the 'assessment results'.
Any further ideas would definitely help - the EM solution will be one step too far for a non-tech user, I'm afraid...

Cheers,
B.

Don't give up at this stage... because all of this may first look hard to understand but after it's much more easier than you can expect.

1) Please find attached a sample "survey" loading assess value & message on a single page... (there are other great sample surveys living at /docs/demosurveys/ ). Just try to look inside and overlook bases of EM syntax

2) Set your survey the best you can (until the point where you will face some issues related with assessments), provide a lss export and describe your what you want… and we will be able to give you a hand with EM code

Excellent example. While this may seem trivial to seasoned LS developers, it's really helpful to see how simply we can report results at the end of the survey, in this case, a table at the end:

The {SURVEYNAME} and {SAVEDID} values are all in the documentation, but there is a lot of reading in the docs!
Thanks for providing a concise example.

You're welcome
