Add assessment questions

Decide what assessors score and answer, and how much each question counts.

Assessors answer the questions in a round’s assessment sections. Scored questions give each idea a score; their weights decide how much each one counts towards the round’s total. Other questions, such as a list to choose from or feedback for the idea’s author, don’t affect the score.

  1. In the challenge’s idea format, open the round’s tab.

  2. Click Add assessment section below the round’s settings.

  3. In the new section, click Add new field and choose Scored question.

  4. Write the question assessors should answer.

  5. Set the maximum score, and the question’s weight: how much it counts towards the round’s total, in per cent.

  6. To let assessors pick from a list, click Add new field again and choose Dropdown box. Give it a Field title, then type each answer under Add your options below and click Add.

  7. While the round has nowhere for written feedback, SimplyDo shows Recommendation: Give assessors a place to leave feedback. Click Add new field, choose Assessment feedback and give it a title. Managers can later send assessors’ answers to it on to the idea’s author.

  8. Click Save format.

Add more scored questions the same way. The weights of a round’s scored questions should add up to 100%; if they don’t, SimplyDo asks you to share the weight out when you save. Assessors must answer every question in the round before they can submit, and each question also gets a Justification or notes box for them to explain their answer.
