Survey - set default rating on rating scale answer type

I've created a survey with a lot of rating scales as answer types.
Can I set a default rating answer for those scales (similar to setting a default answer for the choice answer type)?
I don't want to force to user to click on the N/A option for every sub-question but rather set it as default, since the questions will all be mandatory.
This way, I want to reduce the amount of clicks/time spent on the survey for the user.
I would appreciate any help!

Hello,
can you post a few samples of the desired centered layout? Are you sure that the "numerous
pages that other people get theirs centered" have been created with SharePoint 2010 at all? There are a lot of cheap or free Survey solutions on the Internet.
The Survey in SP 2010 still uses a lot of SP 2007 (MOSS) functionality. A standard rating question will look like this, out of the box in 2010, no changes made.
Can you post a screenshot of your survey and explain what you want to change?
The elements of the above screenshot are heavily governed by JavaScript. Changing their appearance or orientation will not be trivial.
Are you prepared to employ Javascript, jQuery and CSS? You will need a very good understanding of these to center the radio buttons for each question.
Which leads to: why do you feel the need to center these option buttons in the first place? What additional benefit would centering the buttons provide?
Weigh the benefits of centering the scale buttons against the effort involved to learn and implement how to do it.
Is it just aesthetics? Or is there a functional element? Can your budget justify spending a week of work to learn how to center the radio buttons? Or will your company run just as well with the out of the box settings?

How to define a new Rating Scale Lookup Type?

Hi
I want to define a new Rating Scale with Type 'Achievement' in the rating scales. But the Application Utilities Lookup RATING_SCALE_TYPE's Access-Level is System. So I can't add a new type. Is it possible to add a new Type?
Regards
Rahman

I do not think that is possible because the total value of the items must equal the value at header.
You can maybe add an extra text item for these costs if you do not want them added to the other items.

Set Default Opening Application for a certain type of file?

I need some help saving time! I have lots of .groovy files that my apple doesn't know how to open and i have to select a default opening application for every single file! Is there a way to do this for multiple files or for a certain file type? thanks!
amber

Sure. Click on a file, and then go to File-Get Info (or CMD-I) In the box that pops open, choose the app you want the .groovy files to open with, and click change all. That should do it.

Rating Scale is not Showing Up in Predefined PMP

Hi All,
I am new to This Performance Management Configuration, so far i resolved few issues with help of SDN.
Now i am configuring Predefined Performance Management Templates, when i was configuring i have to assign/attache rating scale to goals.
I configured my OWN Rating Scale using this transaction code: OOHAP_VALUE_TYPE based on my client requirement to attach to goals, but i am not able to see my OWN rating scale in the drop down but i am able to see only default rating scale which was provided by SAP.
Can you someone please tell me do i need to configure any thing more to see my own rating scale to attache Predefined Performance Management templates.
Thanks in advance.

How to custom Rating Scale field to add more range text in survey on sharepoint 2013

When we use the rating scale field to create question in survey. You can only set three range texts for each question. Is there any way to allocate a range text for each range ? Such as below :
Low Average High Excellent
Important
1 2 3
4 5
I put extra 1 Rating Text Value / Excellent . but it does not show at respond to survey page.
<Field Type="GridChoice" DisplayName="rating4" Required="FALSE" EnforceUniqueValues="FALSE" Indexed="FALSE" GridStartNum="1" GridEndNum="5" GridTxtRng1="Low" GridTxtRng2="Average"

Thanks all your help !

Hi,
From Microsoft official site, we can find the definition of “Range Text”: enter descriptions for the low, middle, and high scale. It means there are only
three types of description which is the by design behavior. For example, if we have 8 number range, the purpose of the range text is to tell users that 8 is highest and 1 is the lowest. We don’t need to specific description for each column.
As you really want to achieve the goal, we can write client JavaScript code to dynamically update the UI on page. We use SharePoint designer updates the “NewForm.aspx”,
“DispForm.aspx”, “EditForm.aspx” and “Summary.aspx” to add custom JavaScript codes.
For NewForm.aspx; DispForm.aspx; EditForm.aspx
<script type="text/javascript">
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var i=0; i<tables.length; i++)
if (tables[i].summary == 'Rating Scale Question')
var trs = tables[i].getElementsByTagName('tr');
var tds = trs[0].getElementsByTagName('td');
tds[2].colSpan = 1;
tds[2].innerHTML = 'your range text';
tds[3].colSpan = 1;
tds[3].innerHTML = your range text';
tds[4].colSpan = 1;
tds[4].innerHTML = your range text';
tds[5].colSpan = 1;
tds[5].innerHTML = your range text';
</script>
For Summary.aspx
<script type="text/javascript">
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var i=0; i<tables.length; i++)
if (tables[i].className == 'ms-surveyVBarT')
tables[i].deleteRow(0);
var row = tables[i].insertRow(0);
var cell0 = row.insertCell(0);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(1);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(2);
var cell3 = row.insertCell(3);
cell0.innerHTML = your range text';
cell1.innerHTML = your range text';
cell2.innerHTML = your range text';
cell3.innerHTML = your range text';
</script>
These JavaScript codes are all added in the content tag which contentplaceholderid="PlaceHolderMain".
Hope it helps.

function ChangeTitle() {
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var i = 0; i < tables.length; i++) {
if (tables[i].summary == 'Rating Scale Question') {
var trs = tables[i].getElementsByTagName('tr');
var tds = trs[0].getElementsByTagName('td');
tds[2].colSpan = 1;
tds[2].innerHTML = 'your range text';
tds[3].colSpan = 1;
tds[3].innerHTML = 'your range text';
tds[4].colSpan = 1;
tds[4].innerHTML = 'your range text';

Survey Rating Scale - change number range order

Using SharePoint 2010 survey and have a requirement to change the rating number range from 1-5 to 5-1 when it is displayed in the survey
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? I know I can change whether the 1 is high or low with the Range text, but how to actually reverse the order.
I see I can change spacing between questions, modify fonts, etc in the survery using css, but nothing on the rating scale.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Quiz - Rating scale (survey) Output

Hello again guys
This time i have some trouble with quizes in my project. I thought that it is easy to create survey quiz but...:)
What (or where) is output from rating scale quiz slides?
There are two rating scale slides in my project (each with 5 questions rated 1-5) but there is absolutely no output or output settings that alows me display user answers.
Is it possible to somehow show total sum of points from survey questions?
(captivate 5)
Thx, Martin

Well...
its project for people to help them deal with stress.
One part of whole project is this assignment:
There are about 15 questions with 5 answers. Number of answer coresponds with points obtained.
Example:
A) "I usualy sleep 7-8 hours a day" : 1 ("almost always"), 2 ("often"), 3 ("it depends"), 4 ("almost never") to 5 ("never")
B) "I am able to effectively organize my free time" : 1 ("almost always"), 2 ("often"), 3 ("it depends"), 4 ("almost never") to 5 ("never")
.etc
at the end i need to sum points from answers because there are 3 colums with some advices to help user deal with stress acording to total sum of points.
20 – 39 ...blah blah you are fine
40 – 59 ..blah blah get a puppy...
60 – 85 ..blah blah go hang yourself.
..now personaly im somewhere between 95-100 points...

View rating scale (Likert) responses

Hello all,
I'm trying to add a rating scale to a Captivate 3 project and have the results emailed to me. My problem is I cannot figure out how to have the actual responses sent. When I set it up, the email created only has the following (note: the numbers on the second line are all "0", not "U"):
There are only two questions in the survey and in this example I answered the first as "2" and the other as "5".
Does anyone know how to have the results emailed?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi there
Wow, most folks pop in to ask about one feature that doesn't seem to work as advertised. But you have a double feature! Kudos.

Rating Scale Results

I would like to create a survey using rating scales.
Q1: How do I get a page summing the results?
Q2: Is it possible to have questions in categories and have the response to that question stored in that category.
Example: 4 kinds of questions, 40 questions in total, all questions mixed.
When a question from category 1 is answered, the result is stored in the results of category 1.
Andrew

Hello,
No answer yet means normally that the question is not clear to many users? What is meant by 'summing the results'?
Maybe I could help, but try to explain a little bit better. Have a look at:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/graded-survey
http://blog.lilybiri.com/intermediate-score-slides
Those articles are not really explaining your use case, but somehow they are linked with what you want, that is just my intuition.

Rating Scale Issues

Once an option is clicked in a rating scale it can't be unclicked. Does anyone know of a way to set up the scale so that a contributor can change their mind and unclick?

There isn't a way to de-select, another rating can be selected instead but a selected row cannot be cleared. The only way currently would be to go to the URL again starting over.
Thanks,
Josh

Error in script to set album rating in iTunes

Hi
I used to use the following script to set album ratings of albums in my iTunes library. It used to work fine, but now it's not working. When I try to debug it I am getting the following error:
"Scripting component error."

repeat with R in (rating of tracks whose album is thisAlbum)

problems like this are usually solvable by splitting up the line. It doesn't look like it, but there's a whole lot going on in that compound statement. try:

          repeat with R in ratingList
                    if R > 80 then set R to 80
                    set songRating to songRating + R
          end repeat
end tell

Appraisals - Value list/Rating scales problem

I assign the rating scale/value list to a template. I face a problem. I have defined a 5 scale rating. Its working fine in R/3 side. But when I go to ESS/MSS, an extra 'Select a Value' comes as default. I do not want this default. Is there any way, I can remove it or change its description. This is coming even if I make the value required.
Also, I want to change the standard description of the value. So I went to 'Value Description' tab in the template. But it is greyed out. How can I make it open for entry?

Michael - I am reading this note " > you also need to cateogrize your value list, go back to phap_catalog - navigate to go-to -> basic settings. Create your value with same value reference # in the qualitative class. " and I am confused. Are you saying to create the same list under more than one ValueClass ?
I am struggling with a Yes, No, N/A value list having the 'No Value' included in the dropdown.
Hope you are having a terrific day!

Question About Rating Scale (Likert)

I am building quiz survey slides where users answer survey
questions, and the results are compared against scores of top rated
users. In the process of building the slides, I am not seeing any
dialog box where I can enter the correct answer against the quiz
taker's, and when I test the quiz for results, the quiz taker is
always right. I see there is a review area box on the stage, and
when I double-click on it for its properties, there are options for
an incorrect answer where the right answer should be listed. How
come it doesn't pop up when I enter an incorrect answer in the
preview? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The rating scale can't support multiple selections per row. You would have to use the multiple choice field (though its not a table layout).
We do support multiple fields on one line now. This post explains:
