"multipunch questions" --> you can select more than one answer item. and this is rather a term used in the research industry, than a specific Limesurvey term. Actually it is NOT a Limesurvey term, as these type of questions are never called this in Limesurvey. But "multipunch" is clearer than "multiple choice", which is a little ambigious and is often used for "multi punch" questions, or for single choice questions where you can choose one among multiple answers.

@holch, thanks for clarifying "multipunch".
I am so used to this words (single punch, multi punch) that it sometimes just happens.

Well,,

Would you like me to go through and try to remove the scoring that someone added

There is nothing to "remove" because there is nothing inserted yet.

You should change the answer option codes, as I showed in my first answer.
Either use the codes according to the desired weight, or
if you want to use negative weights or equal weights for two or more answer options
use assessment values.

And which questions have to be included in the scoring?

Thank you for clarifying. Much appreciated

Hello, again.

I've enabled the Scoring feature now, and I've gotten a document from the person who manages this that outlines the weights for each question.  For the multipunch questions, they get a score for each one, eg, 0.7 per answer selected.  So, for the entire question, they could potentially score 3.5.

Any question that has a score will be included, but TBH, the whole Report should have every question and answer, along with the final score and comment.

After you inserted the weights and there are further questions, please send the lss export.

Hello, again. I'm trying to add the scoring now, but whenever I hit save or Save and Close/Exit, I get an error 'Could not save answer'. It doesn't tell me why, which is really frustrating. No error code either. Can you think why it wouldn't allow me to enter Assessment values?

Hi,
this is what I wrote:

We really have no crystal ball to see what you do.

Joffm

Thanks, Joffm, but LimeSurvey isn't letting me insert the weights. I keep getting an error message when I try: 'Could not save answer'.
Would you know why it won't allow me to assign weights?

I'll attach the LSS, and maybe you can see why it won't allow me to add the weights.
 

New LSS attached with the Scoring added

Hi,
are you sure this is the correct survey?

I see that you activated "Assessment values", but no values are entered in your answer options.
And I do not see any equations to calculate.

Where do you display your results?

Joffm
 

Sorry, Joffm, but LS won't let me add Values!
If I try to add a value of .75 or 1.5, I get an error.

It appears to only allow whole numbers, and we often assign values like 0.75 or 1.5. Is there a workaround?

Oh,
of course not. No decimals, only whole numbers
But that's no problem.
Just multiply with 10, 100, or so to get whole numbers.
And if it's only something like .25, .5, .75, it's suficient to multiply by 4 and you get 1,2,3,4

When you calculate later you divide respectively.
