Taqtics lets you assign scores to specific question types and set up logic to auto-calculate marks based on selected options or inputs. This comes in handy when tracking store compliance, staff performance, or process adherence — especially in audits or evaluations.

What is Question Scoring in Taqtics?

Scoring in Taqtics means assigning weightage to certain questions and calculating marks based on user responses — either through option-based scoring or input-based logic.

Taqtics allows you to:

Give questions a weightage (e.g., importance of 5 marks).

Give each answer option a score % (e.g., ✅ = 100%, ⚠️ = 50%).

The system then auto-calculates how many points the user earned for each question based on their selected answer.

You can even automate calculations using inbuilt formulas with our BODMAS (math logic) setup.

The question that supports BODMAS scoring Setup

To enable scoring logic, you must first use a Short Answer question — but with the Number response format enabled.

This is the only question type from where all scoring logic setup (BODMAS or Range Validation) begins.

Everything else plugs into this.

Types of BODMAS scoring logic in Taqtics

Once you’ve created a Short Answer (Number) question, there are two logic styles you can configure inside:

📌

1. Weightage-Based Scoring

Used when scoring is based on selected options.

How it works:

Give questions a weightage (e.g., importance of 5 marks).

Assign percentage values to each selectable option(e.g., 100%, 50%).

The total score = question weight × selected %.

5 marks × 100% = 5 marks and 5 marks × 50% = 2.5 marks

Supported Question Types:

These questions are added to the logic from within the Short Answer (Number) setup. You’ll see them as selectable items once you choose "Weightage-Based" under BODMAS.

📌

2. Input-Based Scoring

Used when scores depend on actual values entered by the user.

How it works:

The system reads numeric, time, or date values directly from user input and uses them in a custom formula.

E.g., (checkout time - check-in time) to calculate total shift duration.

Supported Input Question Types:

Short Answer (Number)

Time

Date

Only the Short Answer (Number) type supports full BODMAS logic. The others (Time, Date) must be referenced indirectly inside this question.

(I) Taqtics BODMAS Configurations

Taqtics includes pre-built functions like AVERAGE(), COUNT_NA(), and more inside the scoring setup screen.

(1) Two Sides of the Calculator:

The calculator is split into two functional zones:

Left Side: Basic Math + Process-Level Functions

These are general-purpose keys and process-wide logic buttons.

Includes:

Numbers: 1–9, 0, . (decimal)

Symbols: +, –, ×, ÷, (, )

Actions:

AC – Clear one item at a time
C – Clear entire formula

Functions (Process/Audit Level):

These work across your entire checklist, not just a question or section:

NA Count → Total NA responses

NA Score → Total score received on NA-marked questions

Total Score → Combined score of all scored questions

Max Score → Total possible score

Right Side: Advanced Logic (Section/Question Level)

These are more flexible, targeted functions for creating logic based on specific questions or sections.

Includes:

Σ Calendar [ ] Σ Calendar– Capture date values from date-type questions

Σ Time [ ] Σ Time– Pull time values from time-type questions

Σ Average [ ] Σ Average– Avg score over a set of questions

Σ NA Score [ ] Σ NA Score– Score for NA-marked in a section

Σ NA Count [ ] Σ NA Count – Count NA for selected questions/sections

Σ Weightage [ ] Σ Weightage– Counts the number of questions with same weightage

ℹ️

These all come in the form:
Σ FUNCTION [ enter your-question-or-section-here ]
Note: You must use both [ and ] to wrap your selection.

(2) Hide Question (Inside BODMAS)

Need to calculate scores silently in the background? Use the Hide Question option.

What it does:

Hides that question from the user during process submission.

Keeps it active in the backend for scoring — still visible in reports!

Super useful for confidential logic like internal weightage, penalties, or backend multipliers.

Example: You want to apply a hidden penalty if stock variance crosses a limit — configure it here, keep it out of sight, and reflect it only in the results.

(II) Range Validation (Set allowed limits for number answers)

Range Validation helps you set rules on what number values can be accepted in a question.

Use this when you want to restrict users from entering numbers outside a specific range.

How it works:

Use a Short Answer question and set the response type to Number.

Tap on ⚙️ Settings.

Select Range Validation (you can’t enable both BODMAS and Range at once).

Enter:

✅ Minimum Value (e.g., 10)

✅ Maximum Value (e.g., 500)

Result:

Users will only be allowed to enter a number within the range. Anything outside won’t be accepted.

💡 Example:
You're collecting the daily walk-ins at a store. If you're sure the number is never below 100 or above 1000, range validation ensures accurate and controlled inputs.

Enable Aggregation (Get KPIs from your questions)

Use the Enable Aggregation setting when you want to track real-time insights like total, average, or count based on user responses — right from within a question.

How to do it:

Open a Short Answer (Number) question

Tap on ⚙️ Settings.

Tick ✅ Enable Aggregation.

Select your preferred aggregation logic from the dropdown:

Sum

Average

Count

Max

Min

Once configured, the results will automatically show up inside your process report based on actual submissions.

Example Use Case:
Track “Daily units of cold coffee sold” from each store.
Enable Sum, and your report will give you the total units sold across the month — no extra math needed.

How to Set Up Scoring Logic (Step-by-Step)

Here’s how you can configure scoring inside a Short Answer (Number) question using BODMAS logic.

Step 1: Add a Short Answer Question

Go to your Process → Build tab.

Click Add Question → select Short Answer.

In Response Type, choose Number.

Step 2: Open Settings

Hover over the question → click the ⚙️ Settings icon.

You’ll see two options:

Range Validation

BODMAS

❗ You can only select one — not both.
👉 What does Range Validation do?

Step 3: Choose BODMAS

Click on BODMAS.

Choose your logic style:

Weightage-Based

Input-Based
