Create a CQE question

• Creating a CQE question is a multi-step process:

  

1. From the navigation bar, click Administration>CQE.

   The Manage Evaluations page opens.

2. Click and click Create Question.
3. Define the question type:
   1. Select a question type: Yes/No, Free Text, or Multiple Choice
   2. Click Next.
4. Define the question:
   1. Type in the text of the question. (No limit on the question's length. HTML formatting not supported.)
   2. Click Next.
5. Define an evaluation weight:

   Note: This step only applies to Yes/No and Multiple Choice questions.

   1. Enter an evaluation weight for the question. An evaluation weight defines the maximum score a candidate can receive for the question.

      Example: If you were defining a multiple-choice question and response A is worth 5 points and response B is worth 10 points, the evaluation weight for the response cannot exceed 10 points because 10 is the highest number of points obtainable for any response.

   2. Click Next.
6. Define question answers:

   Note: This step only applies to Yes/No and Multiple Choice questions.

   1. For multiple choice questions, input the set of possible answers to select from in the Answer column. For Yes/No formatted questions, the possible responses are pre-populated with Yes or No options.
   2. Input a grade for each possible answer. The grade is the number of points a candidate receives for choosing an answer. The grade can never exceed the evaluation weight of the question.
   3. If you want the selection of a particular answer(s) to result in the candidate being flagged as a ‘fail’, set the fail flag for the answer(s).

      When a fail flag is triggered it displays on a candidate’s job tracking and/or hiring list without regard to any other questions or answers.

   4. If you want to allow an answer other than the choices provided, place a check mark next to this option.
   5. Click Next.
7. Assign questions to CQE categories:
   1. Select the category to assign a question to using the drop-down list.
   2. Click Preview Question & Answer to preview the question.

      The Manage Questions page provides a re-cap of all the information you entered.

8. Click Save.
