Prerequisite: have questionnaire sections ready for use inside any case's Special Section: name the sections, add question items and define the point values of each response. You can pull up special sections from any case but to keep your cases organized, create Special Section questionnaires for open-ended questions in the same case.

To set up the Questionnaire method for an open-ended question while editing case content:

  1. Click on Points at the footer of the question.



  2. Select Questionnaire from the drop-down on the left.



  3. Select from the available cases from the corresponding drop-down then select a special section. 

    Only those cases will be listed that contain at least one special section.



  4. The question is all set for Questionnaire grading. 

    Resetting the Score Values of an In-Use Special Section

    Scores are not automatically recalculated for open-ended questions graded with the Questionnaire method if the score values of the affiliated Special Section are modified afterwards scores have been submitted. Find our troubleshooting guide here.
