Changing answer type

To change answer type you will need to open:

1. Questions.csv
   

There are several question types that can be used within the assessment:

• Freetext

Freetext is a simple answer type that enables completers to input free text. These questions cannot be scored, and therefore will always be scored as ‘Info’ only

This is an example of a Freetext answer type in an assessment:

This is the same question in the CSV file:

• Bool

Bool is  a simple Yes/No answer type. This question type can be scored.

• Combined

Combined question is a mix of two (or more) types of answers. This answer type can be scored except for freetext answers. The score will also show for the entire question.
Example below shows Combined question including two bool questions:

This is how it looks on the app:

This is the same question in the CSV file:

In combined types of questions it is important to note that the combined questions need to share a “parent” questionid.  To create a sub-question id a “.” is added to the parent-id and then the questionid follows. In the example above the ‘parent’ combined questionid is court_actions_and_rulings whereas the bool sub-question id’s are court_actions_and_rulings.court_action and court_actions_and_rulings.court_ruling.

To change the question type you will need to open the questions.csv file (see example below) and in the column “answer type” change to desired answer type from the list above.
