It is a radio button type question with either "Yes" or "No" as possible answers. When creating a new item of this type, the system automatically offers the two answers (which are still editable) but the score values are to be determined individually.

At data entry, once respondents select either option,. When modified, the selection switches to the recent choice.

Use the buttons in the item panel for further options:

Information - text field for additional information pertaining to the question.

Three dots: Answers horizontally displayed - in case of multiple brief answers (radio button or checkbox), the answers may be better displayed in a horizontal arrangement (yielding more screen estate).

Pointing finger: Reported correct item - if activated, the item will be listed in the Incorrect / Not Done report of the Preset Reports, in the Reports module.

  Asterisk: Answer required - if activated, a user cannot submit the checklist until that item is answered, that is, they cannot leave it blank.

Comment box - when activated, a text field is displayed at the item during data entry, providing space for additional notes.

  Copy - a fully created item can be duplicated. 

As with any added item, a copied one can be freely modified as desired. 


Scoring

Clicking the Points button prompts the score value fields to be displayed next to the added answers.

For each response, the value can be entered in the field, or either of the additional options can be activated:

NS (not scored) - selecting the specific answer would not affect the score

B (bonus) - the ponts in the value field will not be counted in the normal score, but if achieved will be added as extra to the achieved score.

In case of Yes/ No item type, the whole item would be considered a bonus, as only one answer can be selected, multiple solutions are not plausible.
NOTE: When determining score values via the Points button, decimals and minus points can also be used. However, when assigning the same score to different answer options (e.g. at checkbox item type), or assigning only negative values, the system will not be able to determine the correct answer (e.g. for highlighting it on the checklist in Reports).
