This article describes how to create a special rating scale to be used in an evaluation query (one or more EPA questions).


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Find the Rating scale menu

  • Go to Forms/Rating scales


A window opens up containing a list of the Rating scales available in the system. One can see;

  1. what ID they have (important to have, if you plan to import Evaluation questions)
  2. When they were created
  3. Whether they are possible to edit or not (depends on whether they are already linked to an Evaluation question or not)


  • Click the button, Create new



Create a Rating scale

  • Fill in the name under Name(type EPA version 1)

    Type Ordinal or Interval, select Ordinal


Note: 

An ordinal variable is one where the order matters but not the difference between values.

An interval variable is one where the difference between two values is meaningful.



  • Select Response mode: Discrete categories
  • Then add Categories (located under List of Choices). Press the +Add button under Categories
  • For each new Category, press the +Add button (use the list at the end of the article)
  • If you want to move the order, grab the handle with three strokes and pull up/down.
  • If you want to include Headings, you can turn it on on the gear icon. Headings means that the text is only visible when you hover over the category, i.e. only visible when you want to read the entire text.
  • When all categories are entered, click the Save button.


Create points

  • Click the gear icon and select Edit numeric value
  • Enter points for the different steps
  • Press the Save button (if you did everything else as per the article above)



Note: You can print the entire description but as an alternative, in order for it to work on mobile and other mobile devices, you can write an abbreviation and put the entire text as a "mouse over".
