05. Scoring Tab

Introduction 

Often in a form one may want to apply scores to different options to be summed up at the end - this is useful for summing up total based on choices, creating indexes or quick reporting. (For example, a health form could calculate an index for risk of waterborne diseases or malnutrition.) TaroWorks allows you to apply one or more scoring groups across Single Select and Multiple Select questions in your form - upon successful sync of the associated job, the score(s) would be calculated within Salesforce.

 

This article will explain how to use the Scoring Tab to add, edit and delete a scoring group.

Before you begin:

• There is a limit of 5 scoring groups per form.
• Only the sums of scoring groups are stored, whereas the score values contributed by individual questions are not stored.
• It is currently not possible to map the scores to a field. As a result the scores for each form submission can only be seen / exported as .csv file from the responses though Form Manager. (Exception: The raw Progress out of Poverty Index (PPI) can be mapped to text and number fields when using the special PPI templates.)
• For the same reason, logic cannot be triggered based on scoring. (Eg. It is not possible to show a question if the score total is over 100.)
• Scores from questions in repeat sections are added together by design. Please refer to the video on repeat sections for details.
• Resulting scores are not accessible within the form for Dynamic Operations.

6. Assign a score to the options by entering a whole number between -100 to 100 in those number fields. Any blank fields are understood to be zero.
   
   
   
7. Continue down the form until you are done assigning scores for this scoring group.
• NOTE: You may add more scoring groups by clicking Add at the top (green arrow). New groups will be marked as SC1 and so on.
8. When you are satisfied with all scoring groups, click Save to save your progress and remain in this tab. Or click Save and Continue to save and go to the Logic tab. Click Cancel to discard all unsaved changes.
