The Calculator in Responsly adds survey scoring: you define named scores, attach rules to questions so points change based on answers, then optionally show score variables in the form—for quizzes, knowledge checks, or order-style forms where totals should update as people select options.
Create one or more scores
- In the survey editor, open the Calculator (scoring) area for your form.
- Add a score by entering a name and confirming with Add.
- You can run several scores in one survey—each tracks its own total.
If you press Add without typing a name first, Responsly creates a default score called points.
Add scoring rules to questions
After scores exist, define how answers change the numbers.
- Add rules on each relevant question (you can add multiple rules per question).
- The rule depends on the question type: you set the condition when the rule applies and the action to perform.
- Actions use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division with the value you enter, applied to the score you choose for that rule.
Scoring works alongside survey logic—logic controls what people see; the Calculator controls how points accumulate.
Test your scoring and show variables
- Open Form preview, complete the survey as a respondent, and confirm totals behave as you expect.
- To display a score in the flow, click variables while editing a question or description and insert the score variable where you want the current total to appear.
For feedback after graded questions, you can also show correct answers—see Show your respondents the correct answer.
FAQ
What is the Calculator in Responsly?
The Calculator is the scoring module in the survey editor. It lets you define one or more numeric scores and rules that update those scores based on how respondents answer—useful for quizzes, assessments, and calculated totals such as order value.
Can I have more than one score in the same survey?
Yes. You can create multiple named scores in one form and attach different rules to different questions, so each score can track a separate total or dimension.
How do scoring rules work?
For each question you can add one or more rules: a condition (when the rule applies) and an action that changes a score using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division with the value you set.
How do respondents see their score?
After you define scores and rules, insert score variables into question text or descriptions while editing so the running total can appear on later pages or the end screen, depending on your setup.
