    I am creating a liekert scale (assessment form) and I need the form to automatically return results to both the test taker and several other people. I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. Can someone help me?

    Hi Adam,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. To create an assessment form with a Likert scale that automatically sends results to both the test taker and other recipients, you need to set up Notification Email and Autoresponder Email with calculated results included. But to have a better idea of your requirement, can you share the form URL so I can check and help you with a solution?

    After we hear back from you, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on and how to help.

    Hello Shirized -- I think I'm almost there with this form. But there are a couple things I want to do that I don't quite understand how to automate. Here is the direct link to my form on the administration side if that helps. Can you maybe give me a call and we can get this done a little quicker?

    Thanks,

    Hi Adam,

    We don’t currently offer live phone support. If you have any questions, just reply to this thread, or you can create a Help Center thread from the Contact Us page. We’ll be happy to help.

    Now, coming back to your question, can you tell us exactly what you want to happen? Can you give us an example on how you want the flow of your form would be?

    After we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.

    I think I may have already figured it out with the help of your AI chatbot...very useful tool. I will reach out through this thread if I run into any more roadblocks.

    Long story, short, I needed to create a whole bunch of hidden calculation widgets to get the form to identify the top 3 scores on my likert scale. After which I am guessing I will have to create more conditional logic to send specific emails to the recipient related to those particular scores. I started to craft emails for each (there are 15 different results). I am going to want to send 3 emails to each person who takes the test...unless there is a way to combine all 3 into one email.

    OK I tried using the AI bot to get help, and although I thought it was going to work it didn't and I tried a lot of different ways to do these formulas. Here's exactly what we need:

    • I have an assessment tool using the likert model called "Spiritual Gifts Assessment"
    • There are a total of 15 different results (which I have included at the bottom of the form as hidden fields)
    • The questions on the form are scrambled in such a way that numbers 1, 16, 31, 46, 61, 76, & 91 all correspond to the first result or Administration (field 111). The same logic follows for the remaining 14 results.
    • When someone fills out the form, we need them to receive an automated email(s) response that shows them their top 3 results. I can create an email/paragraph of text explaining each of the results. I've already created 3 automated emails that will generate, but we want to make sure that people only receive their top 3, not all of them.

    Does this help to show you what is needed? AI told me to just use a whole bunch of calculation widgets to identify and isolate the top 3 giving a breakdown of the formulas to use. Hopefully you can access my conversation with the bot. Can you please help? I know there is a way to get this done, but I'm a babe in the woods here...THANKS!

    Hi Adam,

    Unfortunately, we can't access the conversation you had with the AI chatbot. However, I'll need some time to look into this. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

    We appreciate your patience and understanding.

    I can send you the email that was sent to me that contains the chatbot thread if you think that would help you?

    Thanks for helping me get this sorted out.

    Hi Adam,

    It's okay. I'm close to finding a solution to this. I'll just finalize my cloned form. I'll get back to you shortly.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.

    Hi Adam,

    To fix this, I suggest deleting all the temp fields. Let me show you how to do this:

    1. In Form Builder, select one of the temp fields and click on the right and left click button of your mouse.
    2. Select Manage Multiple Fields.
    3. Select all the temp fields and click on Delete on the upper right side of the page. How to create an assesment result? Image 1 Screenshot 120

    After deleting all the temp field, add a short text element where the result will be shown. Let's do this:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.
    2. From the Basic tab, select Short Text. How to create an assesment result? Image 2 Screenshot 131

    Add three short text elements, like the one below:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Wand icon of the Top 1 field and remove the current calculation and retain the max function.
    2. Click on the Add Field button and select all the Spiritual Gifts Assessment.
    3. Separate each field with a (,)comma. Make sure to click on the comma to make it a Number value. It should be color black.
    4. Once all the necessary fields are added, click on Save. How to create an assesment result? Image 4 Screenshot 153

    Here's the complete calculation for the Top 1 field:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Wand icon of the Top 1 field and remove the max function.
    2. Click on the Function icon and search for nth.
    3. Enter 2 after the nth function and click on the commas to make it a Number value.
    4. Click on Save at the bottom of the page. How to create an assesment result? Image 6 Screenshot 175

    Here's the complete calculation for the Top 2 field:

    How to create an assesment result? Image 8 Screenshot 197 Let's now set up an Update/Calculate Field condition:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Settings on the orange navigation bar at the top of the page.
    2. Select Conditions from the left side window.
    3. Select Update/Calculate Field.How to create an assesment result? Image 9 Screenshot 208
    4. Set up the condition like the one below and click on Save at the bottom of the page.How to create an assesment result? Image 10 Screenshot 219

    There are 15 conditions for each category, from Top 1 to Top 3 results. I've made all the necessary conditions on my cloned form. Here's the result:

    Lorevie, you have been a huge help! Thanks for your advice on calculating the top 3 scores, that's huge

    ! I guess the only thing to figure out now is how I send out the 3 corresponding email responses to the test takers? I have already started to craft an email response for each of the 15 categories.
