I have a performance appraisal form that has about 50 questions that can be rated as exceeds, meets, or improvement needed. I would like to assign a value to each radio button and have a numeric field at the end that calculates a total score. Any suggestions? I havent been able to get it to work so far.
Thank you!

Hi Shawnim64115838,
below is the form as you requested, now all the radio buttons are calculated as per the values in each one.
in case asking for reason your script is not working, please refer to below causes:
1- Your script has not been set to sum all the radio buttons.
2- You can not use Group for all the groups in your form. you need to specify each group name like (Group1,Group2..etc).
3- The values of 40 radio buttons where set wrongly and some where not set.
4- You need to refer to your radio buttons from the top to the target. for example ((Your Form name).Page1.Section1.Gorup1.Radiobutton1).
After fixing all and writing the script. now you form is working properly.
Sincerely,
#Karwan !

I'm new to LiveCycle so I'm sorry if I'm a bit slow at this. I assigned values to each button, but I'm not sure what you mean by "access the value for each question you simply access this by using the "RadioButtonList.rawValue" Do I need to do something to the group? Also, how do I sum them in the numeric field? I tried a javascript formula that I saw on a tutorial, and I tried the sum function in formCalc, but I'm sure I don't have it right.
I so appreciate any help that you can give me...we are trying to give employee's raises based on their score from this form, and I can't figure out how to get it to calculate.
Thank you,
Shawni

Hello - I need help on the same type of approach on a performance appraisal form. Where is this "step by step" information found? I don't see it in the Adobe User Manual anywhere. Can someone send me the instructions on how to do this?
Thanks!

You are absolutely the best!!! Thank you so, so much. I knew the values of
the all the buttons weren't set yet, I just set the first two rows to see
if I could figure out the formula part first. This is so wonderful!

Here is the link. I only assigned values to the first two rows of radio
buttons under the Quality section, I wanted to see if it worked prior to
changing them all. My script in the numeric field at the bottom of the
page only refers to those two rows. Is it an issue with the buttons being
in different subforms?

I set a value for each radio button under the bindings tab and I added a
numric field at the bottom and set the numeric field to calculate and used
a script to add the raw value of each question, but it isn't working. I do
have radio buttons in different sections in the hierarchy, would that cause
it to not calculate? I want to calculate an exact value rather than an
average because the score will then translate to a dollar amount that an
employee will receive as an increase.

If you check under the Object palette and go into the Bindings tab you can set the value for each radio button choice or simply just check the current values for each button (default 1,2,3 etc.).
If you want to access the value for each question you simply access this by using the "RadioButtonList.rawValue".
To sum them all up can be done by having a calculate event on your numeric field, or alternatively creating a script object and then calling a function which sums all the questions/RadioButtonList values.
Personally I think an average score on the questions would probably be more comprehendable than a total score, but guess that's up to you
hope this helps , regards Mattias.
