Hello,

I'm creating a self-assessment survey and I would like to calculate percentages for each question (arrays with sub-questions and answers with assessment values.)

My question is: Do I have access to the EM variables (other than {TOTAL} and {PERC}) from the assessment rules messages? I've trying different combinations and I cannot get any values to display...

No, I think you will be better off using Expression Manager to load your own "scores" into hidden (via CSS) equation questions and then create a custom assessments message.

?

It's true in 2.6lts and before : all usage of expression manager can be used in assessment message.
It's tru for next version github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/...8d4dea6671011fb5ad9c

I think but didn't check in 2.73, but i think it's true

I'm just pointing out that Expression Manager is far more flexible than assessments.

Right

Thank you for your answer.

Would you have a good example of this that I could look at? I've not seen any specific examples of using EM for assessments and how you create a custom results page.

I did find a workaround by using some javascript in the assessment rules but I'm curious if using EM would give me more flexibility.

Example: you can use all assessment values via questioncode.value, etc. and thus can calculate your own values in equation questions. It gives you a lot more flexibility.

Hmmm technically, that's not an example. I was wondering if there is an .lss I could load up to see how it all comes together. I,ve seen some for other use cases, just nothing for this one particularly. It would help a bunch.

But perhaps there isn't one?

These links should help to get you an good idea of how Expression Manager works. Once you know what Expression Manager is, you will be able to 'unlock' the flexibility it gives you to create your own assessments.
manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager_-_quick_start_guide
manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager_how-tos
manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager_examples

Here you will also find a link to a LSS file that provides examples about Assessments:
manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager..._Assessment_Examples

But the best way to learn is to play around and create your own example and what you want to do. When you run into problems, then put your LSS here and I am sure people are more than happy to help you to overcome your difficulties.

Not to forget the sample surveys

manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager_sample_surveys

which are included in the demo installation, too.

This is great! Thank you!
