All questions (except feedback) have the option to be Critical or Mandatory and also have an option to request additional information.

Critical Questions must be answered correctly for the assessment to pass. If any Critical question is answered incorrectly, the assessment will fail regardless of the percentage scored.

Mandatory questions will always appear in the assessment.

Additional information may be provided with an answer which may allow “working out” or other information related to why someone chose that particular answer to a question.

In the example Multiple Choice question below, a default score of 1.00 will already be associated. There will also be the option to include an external URL along with a description of the URL site. This allows a link to be included in the question text for the user to click on to access. This allows the user to connect to an external page to search for the correct answer.

To create a new answer, click on the Insert New Answer box.

There is also the option to change the question type between Multiple Choice and Pick Correct Answer.

Image and Media files may be embedded into questions. To embed an image, select Image. The following window will appear to browse for the desired image. After selecting Upload Image the image will appear below Preview to confirm that the correct image has been selected. To save the information return to the Answer tab to click on OK once the question has been completed.

Note: It is recommended that media files using the .FLV, .MP3 or .MP4 formats are used in Performance DNA. The in-built media player may work with other media formats but these are not supported.

Wild card characters can be used when defining answer text for a simple text question. For example if a set of words are required to be entered in order, e.g. ‘red’, ‘green’, ‘blue’ the entered answer text should be: “*red*green*blue*” (without quotes). Alternatively, if the exact order of the words is not important, the entered text should follow the format: “*red*,*green*,*blue*” (without quotes). Note: commas in the expression must not be followed by space characters.
