Question Editor

Questions and their options live in areas; note that each question is created and edited individually. To edit a question's properties, mouse over the question in the form canvas and select the edit Survey-Form-Editor-Edit-Button-53.PNG icon. To accept any edits, select the Save Survey-Form-Editor-Save-Button-53.PNG icon; to cancel edits, select the Cancel Survey-Form-Editor-Cancel-Button-53.PNG icon.

Note that if the question is in a shared evaluation area, any changes made to the question will appear on all forms the question is in.

Properties

When configuring your questions and options, note the following.

Weight

The weight field allows you to add or remove weight (i.e., importance) from a question. Questions with a higher weight will account for a higher percentage out of an area's total percentage. The default weight for a question is 1.

Example: In a five-question area with each question having a weight of 1, the percentage for each question is 20%. If one of the questions is adjusted to a weight of 4 and the others remain at 1, the percentage of this question changes to 50% and the remaining four questions change to 13% each.

Note that question weight is specific to each question-area-form combination.

Options

Questions may contain multiple options. To add a new option, select the add EFE-Add-Option-Icon-54.PNG icon; to delete an option, select the delete EFE-Delete-Option-54.PNG icon.

Text

The Text field is where you define the name for each option.

Value or N/A

The Value field allows you to define the value or points for each option. If you do not want to assign a value to an option, you may select the N/A box; this may be done for reporting purposes.

Bonus/Penalty

The Bonus/Penalty EFE-Option-Bonus-Penalty-Icon-54.PNG field allows a bonus or penalty to be applied to an option. Bonus is configured by adding positive numbers; penalty is configured by adding negative numbers.

Fails Area

When selected, the Fails Area EFE-Area-Fails-The-Form-Icon-54.PNG option will automatically fail the area.
