Structuring Questions, Sections, and Subsections

This video is a tutorial on setting up questions, sections, and subsections in Brilliant Assessments, explaining how to structure an assessment using a hierarchical format of sections, subsections, questions, and answers. We cover adding questions, selecting answer formats, customizing settings such as required status and visibility, linking to segmentations, and defining report names. We also demonstrate how to add text, image, or video instructions, set conditions for displaying questions based on previous responses, and generate answer-based report text.

Bonus Pro Tips

• When you add a question as required, you can add your own error message (if a respondent misses the field). This overrides the default message.
• If you want to add graphics to your instructions, these will only appear if you set the graphic type as ‘Assessment Body’
• The question report name field is displayed on the bar graphs, so it can be set to be different from the question text the respondent sees.

Step-by-step instructions from the video

Adding an Assessment

1. Click "Add an Assessment" to create a new assessment.
2. A default section and subsection will be created automatically.
3. Understand that assessments follow a hierarchical structure:
   • Sections (each representing a page in the assessment)
   • Subsections
   • Questions
   • Answers

Adding a Question

1. Click "Add Question" under a subsection.
2. Type your question in the provided field.
3. Select an appropriate answer format for the question.

Customizing Answers

1. Each answer format has preset default answers, but you can create custom ones.
2. Set the Max Score for the question.
3. Click Save to store your changes.

Editing Questions

1. Return to the question anytime to edit it.
2. Navigate through different options such as:
   • Marking the question as required
   • Hiding the question
   • Overriding system messages with a custom message
   • Linking the question to a segmentation/classifier if needed.
   • Defining a question-report name (used in graphs) if different from the main question text

Instructions

1. Click on the Instructions tab to add guidance for respondents.
2. Customize instructions using text, different fonts, images, or videos.
3. Click Save and enable the "Show Instructions" toggle to display them.

Conditional Logic

1. Navigate to the Conditions tab to control when a question appears.
2. Set conditions so the question is displayed only if the respondent answers a previous question in a specific way.
3. Combine multiple AND or OR conditions for complex logic.

Report Text

1. Use the Report Text tab to define output based on answers.
2. This is typically set at the answer level, but it can also be based on multiple-choice selections.
