Evaluation Definition - Outcomes/Indicators
Return
to Demo/Tutorial Contents Page
Outcomes/Indicators are computed or derived scores based upon Responses (and their associated values), other Outcome Scores, and Norm/Reference tables. Questions can be grouped in a variety of ways which are not limited by Section definitions. Outcome Scores can be based upon other Outcome Scores, Questions, or both. Outcome Scores be computed using:
- Averages
- Sums
- Formulas
- Norm/Reference Tables
- Data Entered Values
- External Routines
The Evaluation Outcomes/Indicators dialog provides a control center for working with the the scoring mechanisms for an Evaluation tool.
Note:
The Order Column is important because it controls the order of actual calculation. This is important when Outcome Scores depend upon other values from previously calculated scores.
Dialog Options:
- The Add/Update/Copy/Delete options are used for basic maintenance of scoring rules.
- The Items option is used to specify which question(s) and/or outcome(s) are averages, summed, etc.
