Threshold is a simple Pass or Fail result.
Ranges are used for graphical overlay and key location colouring.
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 ==
These are used in the rendering or reports and allows for various colouring options throughout QA. You can extend provide the formatting of layouts in the score as followsfollowing format: 80;70-red;80-orange;90-yellow;100-green; It then allows "less than" ranges. So if less than 70 colour the section is red. If less than 80, colour the section orange and so on.
The colours available are red, green, blue, cyan, maygenta, yellow, orange, grey, white, black.
This sets Alternately you can use hex codes, if you include the Pass | Fail score firstly# symbol. It then allows "less than" ranges3 or 6 character formats are accepted. So if less than 70 colour  If the section is red. If less than 80format does not match, colour then the section orange and so on. There is more information on default background colours belowwill be used instead.
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?  Firstly the option to allow an instant Fail keyword to be used must be turned on. It is by default set to True. Main Menu > Form Management > Form - Primary Management > Form - Edit > Choose your Form > From the console on the left choose Quality Options > In the Create section on the right find "Allow Fail All"  
A special code "Fail" without the double inverted comma can be put into the weighting boxof any weighted question.
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.
== Colours Score Locking ==
The colours available are red, green, blue, cyan, maygenta, yellow, orange, grey, white, blackThis is used to lock the scores given to an assessment. It prevents re-scoring after Coaching / SMARTER plans have been sent out. This is designed to all keep things fair once the assessments have been deemed to have finished being assessed.
Score locking is enabled by default but can be turned off if required after release.
Alternately you can use hex codes, if you include Main Menu > Form Management > Form - Primary Management > Form - Edit > Choose your Form > From the # symbolconsole on the left choose Quality Options > In the Create section on the right find "Score Locking". 3 or 6 character formats are acceptedSet to false will allow all assessments to be re-scored.
 If The locking adds the format does not match, then word "Locked" to the default background colours will be used insteadscore at the top of the page and in the section headers.
