    Hi,

    I'm looking looking to building a survey with an automatic assessment functionality.

    Can you please let me know if your survey maker have the functionality to build the surveys based on the below requirements and how easy would it be for us to use those functionality.

    The requirements for our survey assessments are:

    * Create different scores for different responses

    * Give total score and rating based on score bands or sections

    * Ability to remove a question from calculations based on response

    * Automated scoring and generate different messages based on the assessment outcome

    * API enabled, so we can send form data directly to an external database

    Thanks,
    Lisa

    * Create different scores for different responses

    You may assign calculation values for each answer by following this guide:

    How-to-Assign-Calculation-Value

    * Give total score and rating based on score bands or sections

    Once you've assigned calculation values, you can use our Form Calculation Widget to calculate for the total score.

    * Ability to remove a question from calculations based on response

    You have the option to decide which questions you will include in the Form Calculation widget. Simply do not add it so it is not included in the calculations.

    * Automated scoring and generate different messages based on the assessment outcome

    You can create multiple text blocks that will contain different messages based on assessment outcome. You can then make use of our Show/Hide condition, so you can decide which message to show depending on user's scores.

    You may also setup different autoresponder email per different types of results, then set a condition which email to send.

    * API enabled, so we can send form data directly to an external database

    You can use our JotForm API to retrieve data on your form:

    https://api.jotform.com/docs/

    However, should you want to get the data everytime the form is submitted, you may use WebHooks or send HTTP POST to Thank You Page option.

    Hi Vanessa,

    thanks for your response.

    I just one to clarify your answer to: Ability to remove a question from calculations based on response.

    What I need for this is not to exclude the question altogether but to exclude the question from the calculation ONLY if a certain answer is chosen, if other answers are chosen then I would like to have the question included. For example, if they chose "Not Applicable" then I want to exclude the question. I do NOT want to apply a "0" score against this answer.

    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Thanks for the clarification. Yes that is also possible. You can apply a condition where,

    Sample:

    if question 1 = Not Applicable, add question 2 & 3.

    if question 2 = Yes, add question 2, 3 & 4.

    To do that, please see this guide:
