Using result groups is optional when you attach questions to a questionnaire. Create result groups only if you want to evaluate results based on correct answers. For more information, see About result groups.

Note

Before you can set up result groups, you must:

  • Set up closed-ended questions. For a question to be a closed-ended question, the input type in the Questions form must be Check box, Alternative button, or Combo box.

  • Define points for answers in the answer groups assigned to each question.

  • Set up a questionnaire.
