They need to ask manager to unsubmit the survey, and inform the company to change their response and save those pages again and then again submit their survey.

What if you are not getting correct data in the scoring dataset for your participant? What are the possible reasons?

Answer

Please check the possible reasons below:

  • Make sure your participant has filled data in the correct survey that you are looking for.
  • Make sure that your participant has also saved those pages after adding their responses.
  • Make sure that you have added correct survey in the "Change criteria" of your dataset. Because if your survey is incorrect, you will never get correct scoring.
  • Make sure the you have added correct node id in your dataset for which you are checking the scores.
  • Make sure your dataset is generated recently after your participant has added and saved their responses into the survey.
  • Make sure that in generated csv file, you are checking scores for your own participant and not for others.
  • Sometimes, if the survey is live and if we make any changes in template for scoring. We need to recalculate the score for that survey and then generate the dataset, so we will get correct scoring dataset csv.
  • If none of the above is applicable, there can be a reason that in back end the response is getting saved, but status is not getting saved. In such cases, the score will not appear in csv of the dataset. In this case, you can create a bug ticket in plan io and assign it to 73bit Operation Team.

What if you are not getting correct data in the Scorecard for your participant? What are the possible reasons?

Answer

Please check the possible reasons below:

  • Make sure your participant has filled data in the correct survey for which you are checking the Scorecard.
  • Make sure that your participant has also saved those pages after adding their responses. Because if responses have not been saved, they won't be visible into the dataset and Scorecard.
  • Make sure that you have added correct survey in the "Change criteria" of your dataset. Because if the attached survey is incorrect, you will never get correct scoring in your dataset as well as in your Scorecard.
  • Make sure that you have added correct node id in your dataset for which you are checking the scores. Because if node ids are incorrect, the data visible in dataset csv and Scorecard can be wrong.
  • Make sure your dataset is generated recently after your participant has added and saved their responses into the survey. If dataset is not generated recently, you will never get correct and latest data in Scorecard for your participant.
  • Make sure you are generating Scorecard for your participant after generating your dataset, otherwise you might not be able to see correct and latest data in your Scorecard.
  • If none of the above is applicable, there can be a reason that in back end the response is getting saved, but status is not getting saved. In such cases, the score will not appear in csv of the dataset and so in Scorecard. In this case, you can create a bug ticket in plan io and assign it to 73bit Operation Team.

What to test if some survey template changes come?

Answer
  • You need to test the text changes into the survey.
  • Check the status of the page for which you made text changes.
  • Check whether the previous conditions are still working properly with status check for that page.
  • Check the document download and make sure the responses are showing at correct position.
  • Also test whether after making these text changes, the response logs is showing the correct status. Because if the status is incorrect at response logs, or if it is blank, then you will not get the response and score correctly in dataset.
