If the Keyword scoring method is applied to a question, the system automatically calculates a preliminary score based on the keywords set up as solutions with individual score values at the question.
To set up Keyword scoring for an open-ended question while editing case content:
- Click on Points at the footer of the question.

- the wildcard placeholder consists of a period followed by an asterisk: '.*'
- only one wildcard placeholder '.*' can be added inside the keyword phrase
With this formula, several versions of a phrase can be accepted and automatically scored:
