Assign Evaluation Level Question Weighting
When merging questions to create new evaluation sets in the Data Import editor, users can now assign weights to questions at the evaluation level.
Multiple weights are sometimes assigned to variables that make up the same evaluation set - meaning one weight assigned to a variable for each frame of the evaluation set.
(e.g., Rated Item #1;Weight #1, Rated Item #2;Weight #2, etc.).
Assigning evaluation level weighting is done during the process of defining and creating an evaluation question set.
The same steps and interface are used.
Select the variables to include in the new evaluation set, including the weight variables and proceed with merging the selection into an evaluation set.
Important!
At this point, the variables intended to be used as weights in the evaluation set are still numeric questions.
Do not convert them to weights yet.
The evaluation set interface will open, and the selected variables appear on the left.
Setup the new evaluation question set.
Drag the numeric questions intended as weights into a column of the evaluation set.
Save the changes to the evaluation set.
After the merging process is complete, the evaluation set questions are shown in the question list.
Select the merged weight question and click the Use as Evaluation Weight button to finalize the steps for assigning evaluation weights.
Like other weights in a Halo Reports dataset, any assigned evaluation weights will not be displayed in the question list of Halo Reports and cannot be included as a regular question in queries.
After the user includes the evaluation set questions into rows or columns, the evaluation set questions will automatically be weighted by the assigned evaluation weight variable.
