What's the issue you're facing?

I would like to setup scoring and weighting in my questionnaire. How do I do this?

Solution

When you have defined the scoring and weighting settings (on the Settings page), you need to build out your questionnaire.
Within each question you will now see ‘Weighting’ under the section title (if weighting is being used at Section or Question and Section level), ‘Scoring Criteria’ text box, ‘Scoring’ field and ‘Weighting’ field (if weighting is being used at Question or Question and Section level).

  1. Weighting under the section title (See image 1 below – highlighted in blue) denotes the section weighting percentage. This will default to 100%, when another section is added you will likely want to change the weighting. This is done by clicking the ‘Edit section attributes’ button on the right hand side of the section title (See image 2 below). You can then assign a section weighting to each section
            Remember the total section weighting within in the questionnaire needs to add up to 100%. For example, if you had 2 Sections you could decide both are equally important and weight them 50% and 50%, however you may decide that the 2nd section is more important and weight the sections 20% and 80%.
  1.  Scoring criteria gives you space if you wish to explain your scoring methodology to each question (This is shown to participants)
  2. Scoring allows you to determine the maximum score available in this question, This can be any numerical value you want. (See image 1 below – highlighted in red). You can assign a different score to each answer For example if you have a question with a maximum score of 10, Answer A could score 10, Answer B could score 5 and Answer C could score 3 and Answer D could score 0. As long as the Maximum score is not exceeded by answering a question then this would work. In the event of picking from a multiple choice answer you will need to apply some logic to ensure that the maximum score is not exceeded.
  3. Weighting will only show at the question level if you have decided that you want weighting at question level or both section and question level. On your first question within a section this will default to 100%, as you add more questions in you will likely want to amend the weighting across multiple questions. (See image 1 below – highlighted in red)
            Remember the total question weighting within a section needs to add up to 100%. For example, if you had 4 Questions you could decide they are equally important and weight them 25%, 25%, 25% and 25%, however you may decide that the 4th question is the most important question in that section and weight the questions 10%,10%, 10% and 70%.


Top Tip: Before adding in scoring and weighting into the platform plan! Decide what factors are important to your event, Have a scoring methodology, decide if you want to combine a qualitive questionnaire response and price RFQ responses. If you are unsure build the event in the Sandpit and test from a participants perspective.
