Checkbox

Question type with one or multiple possible answer choices. Selection can be undone. All available answer choices are visible on the screen, and the score values can be freely determined. The respondents receive the sum of score values assigned to their selected answers.

  1. Enter the question in the field next to the number of the item, then type in the answer choices in the Enter Answer fields.

  2. You can add more fields by clicking the Add New Answer button, or delete any extra field by clicking the icon appearing when hovering over the row to be deleted.

  3. Once the answers are complete, the Maximum selectable answers can be limited via the corresponding drop-down.


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 the case of multiple brief answers, the answers may be better displayed in a horizontal arrangement (yielding more screen estate).

   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 (darker blue), a text field is displayed next to an item during data entry, providing space for additional notes.

  Copy - a fully created item can be duplicated, thereby copying the question and all the provided answers.

As with any added item, a copied one can be freely modified. To add more fields, click the Add New Answer button; to delete an extra field, click the X icon that appears when you hover over the row to be deleted.


Scoring

Clicking the Points button displays the score value fields 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 points in the value field will not be counted in the normal score, but, if achieved, will be added as an extra to the achieved score.

Decimals and minus points can also be used to determine score values via the Points button. However, when assigning the same score to different answer options (e.g., for checkbox item types) or assigning only negative values, the system cannot determine the correct answer (e.g., to highlight it on the checklist in Reports).
