  4. To enter the assessment builder interface, click on the "Build" tab within the record detail.

2. Assessment Settings

Click on the "settings icon", then move to the Timer/Quiz section:

On the left panel, various question types are available:

  • Selection-based Questions (Radio Group, Rating Scale, Checkboxes, Dropdown, Multiselect, Yes/No Question): Assign scores to each option under the "Choices" section on the right panel. Each option can bear a positive or negative score. Correct answers can be specified in the "Data" section.
