Detailed Steps

Import the template into your community

1. Download the PXML template here.
2. On the Home page or the Activities page, click New Project, choose Power Survey, and click Create.
3. Click Upload from PXML.
4. Click Choose File and find the template you just downloaded in the first step.
   
5. Name your study as required.
6. Click Upload.
7. On the Build page, click Edit to open Power Survey Authoring in a new browser tab.
8. Click the Questionnaire tab.

Author the quiz questions

1. Expand the QUIZ_QUESTIONS block and author your questions in here, as required.
2. If you would like to show a result page after every question, see the following steps:
   • Duplicate RS_Q1 text instruction for each additional question you have in the Block.
   • Update the name of each instruction text to follow this format: RS_QNAME. QNAME must match the question name before it.
     
     For example:
     
   • If you DO NOT want to show a result page, simply delete or hide RS_Q1 text instruction.

Update the question names

1. Expand the QUIZ_HIDDEN_MODIFY block and click on QUIZ_HIDDEN_QUESTIONS.
2. Update the answer options with the names of your questions so that each answer option represents a question. Please note that Single/Multi Choice/Open End questions will require one answer option each. Grid questions will require one answer option per row (in power surveys, rows in a grid start with _0). 
   
   For example: Q2 in above example is a Multi Choice Grid with 3 rows)
   

Update the correct answers

1. Click on QUIZ_HIDDEN_ANSWERS.
2. Update the answer options with the correct answers for your questions so that each answer option represents the correct answer for each question.
3. For Choice questions or Choice Grid rows, the value represents the position of the correct option.
4. For Numeric or Allocation Grid rows, the value will be the exact numeric value. If your question supports decimal place, the answer value must also include decimal place. (e.g. if set to 2 decimal, and correct answer is 1.5, then answer value must be 1.50 in order to match properly.)
5. The correct answers must correspond to the question names listed in QUIZ_HIDDEN_QUESTIONS.
   Please use commas to separate the values for multi choice questions (participants will have to select ALL options to be correct).
   
   For example:
   

Update the scores

1. Click on QUIZ_HIDDEN_SCORES.
2. Update the answer options with the score values so that each answer option represents the score value for each question. The scores must correspond to the question names listed in QUIZ_HIDDEN_QUESTIONS. The scores must be full numbers only.
   
   For example:
   
3. If you simply want to show the number of correctly answered questions out of the total number of quiz questions asked, insert 1 for all score options.
   
   
   At this point, you should end up with 3 questions aligned per every line like this.
   

Display the score

1. You can use the text instruction QUIZ_DISPLAY_SCORE to display the score to the participant. If you do not need this, you can delete or hide it.
2. The final quiz score is saved in the QUIZ_SCORE numeric question and can be piped in wherever needed: [%QUIZ_SCORE.ToString()%]
3. The overall total is saved in the QUIZ_TOTAL numeric question and can be piped in wherever needed: [%QUIZ_TOTAL.ToString()%]

You can now validate and test your survey

(Optional) If you don't like the correct or incorrect signage on result pages, you can update the text or image in QUIZ_RESULT_TEXT under QUIZ_HIDDEN_MODIFY block.
