Correct Answer Evaluation

Surveys can optionally be configured to operate as quizzes, allowing you to specify correct answers for each question. Correctly answered questions are displayed as such in Survey responses, and can be downloaded with sample data.

For Selection and Matrix question types you can specify response options as correct answers.

From the list of responses, click the response you wish to mark as correct.
Click the Modify button.
The Option dialog will be displayed. Click the Advanced tab.

For Text Field, Date Field, Number Field and Phone Number question types you can specify criteria to evaluate a response as correct.

A specified value is compared using an operator to the survey participant's response. If the comparison result is True then the response will be recorded as correct.

Operator	What it does
=	True when the participant response is equal to the specified value. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
<>	True when the participant response is not equal to the specified value. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
>	True when the participant response is greater than the specified value. This operator applies only to numeric and date fields. When used with text fields it performs a case sensitive pattern match which can be more reliably performed using begins with.
>=	True when the participant response is greater than or equal to the specified value. This operator applies only to numeric and date fields. When used with text fields it performs a case sensitive pattern match which can be more reliably performed using begins with.
<	True when the participant response is less than the specified value. This operator applies only to numeric and date fields. When used with text fields it performs a case sensitive pattern match which can be more reliably performed using begins with.
<=	True when the participant response is less than or equal to the specified value. This operator applies only to numeric and date fields. When used with text fields it performs a case sensitive pattern match which can be more reliably performed using begins with.
is one of	True when the participant response is one of the values in the value list. To specify a value list, enter each value into the Value text box, separated by a comma or space. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
is not one of	True when the participant response is not one of the values in the value list. To specify a value list, enter each value into the Value text box, separated by a comma or space. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
contains	True when the participant response contains the value. For example, a value of Jan would match Jan, Jane and Mary-Jane. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
does not contain	True when the participant response does not contains the value. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
starts with	True when the participant response begins with the Value. For example a value of New will match both New York and New Orleans. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
does not start with	True when the participant response does not begin with the Value. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
ends with	True when the participant response ends with the Value. For example a value of Dakota will match both North Dakota and South Dakota. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
not ends with	True when the participant response does not end with the Value. Use the (ignore case) option when you want the match to be case insensitive.
is null	True when the participant response has no value (not even a blank value). For most purposes use is blank to check to an empty field.
is not null	True when the participant response has a value (even a blank value).
is blank	True when the participant response has no value or when a numeric field has a value of 0.
is not blank	True when the participant response has a value and if it is a numeric field that value is not 0.
