QA - Scores and Thresholds

== Introduction ==
 
In QA for every assessment there are two distinct scoring and outcome results for each assessment.
 
Scoring allows a score to be calculated.
 
== Basic Use ==
When setting up a QA assessment, you may want to provide ranges for assessment purposes and graphical displaying of trends. The field "Pass mark" usually contains a number. e.g. 80 for 80% to Pass. Anything less than 80% is a Fail.
The "Pass mark" is found from Main Menu > Form Management > Form - Edit > Choose your QA Form > Choose Quality Options from the console on the left > In the "Create Options" section on the right, the "Pass mark" field can be found.
 
 
== Ranges ==
You can extend the formatting of the score as follows: 80;70-red;80-orange;90-yellow;100-green;
This process of splitting the Score and the Threshold, also allows for the introduction of an instant fail without the need to introduce negative marking. Say for example there is a really important question in your QA script e.g. Data Protection laws were adhered to. A special code "Fail" without the double inverted comma can be put into the weighting box. This will result in a score of 0 being issued to the question, but overall, no matter what score the user gets, the assessment will show a Threshold of Fail. This allows averages to be maintained without the need for negative scoring and still represent an assessment as a fail.
