Full Version: Using UCCASS as questionnaire

Hi guys,

I just downloaded UCCASS for the first time and had a play with it and it looks fantastic. However, I was hoping to use it as a questionnaire where I can see the complete list of answers a single user has given, rather than viewing the combined answers of all anonymous users.

Is that possible at all?

Also, is there a possibility to add introductory text before each question? I would like each page to start with a couple of paragraphs of information before the question follows at the bottom. I couldn't see any way of doing that, but I am sure somebody else must have tried that?

Thanks heaps!

Fredo.

Not right now. I got to thinking about this last night and came up with an idea that wouldn't be hard to implement. Each answer has a numeric value. The idea is that wrong answers would be given a zero value and correct answer(s) would be given a positive value. This would allow you to give questions a weight, too, by varying how much a correct answer is worth. The only hard part would be the "check all the correct answers" where it's an all or nothing type question. If each correct answer was worth a point, that'd be easy. If the system has to check that _all_ of the correct answers were chosen before awarding points, that'd be more difficult.

Honestly, though, with a newborn child here and a high-stress job, I have very little time to do any programming.

This is possible, though. Just choose an answer type of "None". The "question" will now appear as a Label in the question list and will not be assigned a number.

Hope that helps some. smile.gif

Hmmm... I am not quite sure I expressed myself right. At least I don't quite understand your answer in relation to my question smile.gif

What I meant was that I was wondering if the answers are being linked to a user or a session in any way? All I want is to be able to see all the answers that were given by a single user in one session.

So I am assuming when somebody clicks to "Start a Survey" we could create a unique ID and then store that ID in the table of responses so we can see all the responses that belong together.

I am surprised nobody has had a need for this yet?

Oh, I see. I was thinking of a test-type setup. You still can't do what you're after. They system is designed to store the responses anonymously. People have obviously asked for the non-anonymous type, but I haven't added any code to do that.

I am in need of a questionnaire that will allow a person to check off different questions in different categories, and at the end it will show them a list of items they may be interested in based upon the items they checked and what categories those items were in.

Is this script capable of doing this?

TIA
