Calculate scoring for multiple choice responses

Learn how to calculate multiple choice response scoring to automatically total response values, helping you measure performance and analyze inspection outcomes effectively via the web app and the mobile app.

What does it mean to calculate scoring for multiple choice responses?

Multiple choice response scoring allows you to assign numeric values to each response in a custom response set, converting qualitative answers into measurable data. Once applied to a template, the total score of all selected responses is automatically calculated during an inspection. This helps teams quantify results, track performance, and make data-driven decisions through analytics, reporting, and automation workflows.

For example, during a cargo loading inspection, each response option can be assigned a value based on the severity of the issue, with higher scores assigned to major issues and lower scores to minor ones. As inspectors record their findings, the total score is calculated to reflect the severity of the loading issues. This allows the team to quickly determine whether it's safe to proceed with loading or if corrective actions are needed before continuing operations.

Only custom response sets can be referenced in a calculation formula.

Calculate a multiple choice response's scoring

  1. Select Templates iconModèles from the menu on the left-hand side.

  2. Click the template and select Modifier le modèle in the side panel.

  3. Add a new question or select an existing one.

  4. Click Agrandir l'icône under the "Type of response" column on the right-hand side and select any custom response sets.

  5. Set up scoring for custom response sets.

  6. Create calculation response questions or edit an existing one.

    • Click Agrandir l'icône on the right-hand side of "Functions" and select SUM_MC, then click Agrandir l'icône on the right-hand side of "Questions" and select the multiple choice question you want to calculate.

    • You can also type $ followed by SUM_MC function or $ followed by a question's label to use it in your formula.

  7. Click Enregistrer et appliquer.

  8. Click Publier on the upper-right of the page to publish the template. If you're not ready to publish the template, you can go back to the templates list and come back when you're ready.

  3. Select Modèles tab at the top of your screen.

  4. Tap the template and select Pencil iconModifier le modèle from the pop-up options.

  5. Add a new question or select an existing one.

  6. Under the question label, tap Agrandir l'icône and select any custom response sets.

  7. Set up scoring for custom response sets.

  8. Create calculation response questions or edit an existing one.

    • Tap Agrandir l'icône on the right-hand side of "Functions" and select SUM_MC , then tap Agrandir l'icône on the right-hand side of "Questions" and select the multiple choice question you want to calculate.

    • You can also type $ followed by SUM_MC function or $ followed by a question's label to use it in your formula.

  9. Tap Enregistrer et appliquer.

  10. Tap Publier on the upper-right of the screen to publish the template. If you're not ready to publish the template, you can go back to the template list and publish the changes when you're ready.

Add a number as the second argument to set the default score when a question has no response during an inspection.

Frequently asked questions

Vous pouvez mettre en place un score négatif en attribuant des valeurs inférieures à zéro dans votre modèle. Cependant, veuillez noter que d'autres fonctionnalités, telles que les scores des rapports d'inspection, les le suivi des scores dans Données analytiques, et d'autres encore, peuvent ne pas prendre entièrement en charge le score négatif.

La désactivation et la réactivation du score remettront les valeurs de score à 0, ce qui signifie que vous devrez définir à nouveau vos valeurs de score au niveau de la question.

Les valeurs de score pour les jeux de réponses personnalisées seront conservées intactes.

Le score des réponses à choix multiples est toujours basée sur les valeurs attribuées à chaque réponse du jeu de réponses. Si vous sélectionnez plusieurs réponses, la valeur de chaque réponse est ajoutée au score total. Pour maximiser votre score, sélectionnez toutes les réponses applicables ; l'absence d'une réponse diminuera votre score pour cette question.

No. Only one multiple choice question can be referenced in a single function call. While functions like SUM() can take multiple arguments, SUM_MC() works on a single question and sums the scores of all responses selected for that question. To calculate the total score across several multiple choice questions, use a separate SUM_MC() function for each question.

A function call is the action of executing a function. It consists of the function name followed by parentheses containing the arguments. For example, in the formula SUM(11+2) - SUM(5+3), SUM(11+2) is one function call.

No. The second argument is only used when a question has no response. If the question is answered, the function ignores the second argument and uses the actual response score in the calculation.
