Scoring is most commonly used when a Client is asked a series of questions and the answer to those questions are assigned number values. The number values are than totaled to equal a Score. An example of this is seen in the TGI Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 Form (Sort Name: TGI_GAD7).
In FormLabTM, scoring is done using the Scoring Editor and the Calculation Control.
NOTE: The Scoring Editor is only available in the Yes/No, Checkbox (N/A), Choose Multiple, and Choose One Controls. The Number Control also works with Calculation.
The Scoring Editor is used to assign number values to the radio buttons/checkboxes associated with the controls listed above. For an example of how to use the Scoring Editor within the Yes/No control, see below:
- Right-click on the control > Edit if the control already exists or right-click on [Section] to add the control.
- Select the Scoring Editor button.
- Assign a number value to each available option; Yes, No and Not Answered.
- Click Ok.
- The Scoring Editor symbol will now be green.
- Click Ok to save the control.
- This control is now ready to be added to a Calculation Control.
