Create a Quiz, Survey, or Poll

Quizzes can be created as one of three types: a quiz, a survey, or a poll. Quizzes, surveys, and polls are configured the same, but information is shown to users and passed to Nitro differently depending on the quiz type.

Quizzes consist of two elements: the quiz and the mission that activates it. Users cannot take a quiz until 1) a mission exists that references the quiz in the ruleset, 2) the mission is active, and 3) the user meets the eligibility requirements. By default, Nitro will create a mission for the quiz when the quiz is created. This mission has default settings and is inactive until you activate it.

When you create a survey or poll:

• The Passing Percentage and Limit Number of Attempts fields are ignored.
• The "Correct" setting on a question's answers is ignored. However, you must set at least one "correct" answer in the question setup.
• The QUIZ_COMPLETED action that's logged when a user takes the quiz always sends the result as Passed.
• Users will not see correct/incorrect feedback on their selected answers when completing the poll/survey.

Create or Edit a Quiz, Survey, or Poll

1. Open Nitro Studio > Motivate > Quizzes.
2. Click New. Or, hover over the quiz and click Edit () to modify an existing quiz.

Note: When you modify an existing quiz, any in-progress user submissions are cleared and the user's progress on that quiz is reset. This has no effect on completed quizzes.

3. On the About tab, enter About & Basic settings.

Field	Description
Name	The quiz name. The name appears as the title of the Quiz web component.
Description	The description of the quiz.
Linked Missions	The mission(s) using this quiz. When a check box is selected, the linked mission is active. When cleared, the linked mission is inactive.
Type	The quiz type. You can create a quiz, survey, or poll.
Number of Questions to Display	The number of questions a user must answer to complete the quiz. When this number is lower than the number of questions in your quiz and Randomize Questions is selected, your quiz can look different to different users. Show me an example You create a quiz with 10 questions. You set Number of Questions to Display to 3. You enable Randomize Questions. User A takes the quiz and sees questions 1, 2, and 3. User B sees questions 4, 6, and 8. User C sees questions 3, 7, and 10.
Passing Percentage	The percentage of correct answers a user must get to pass the quiz. Note: Nitro doesn't round numbers. If you have 4 questions and set the passing percentage to 80%, the user will still have to answer all questions correctly to pass the quiz.
Limit Number of Attempts	Select to limit the number of attempts a user has to pass the quiz. Then, add a value in the Maximum Number of Attempts field to define how many times the user can retake the quiz, until passing. Note: If you edit an existing quiz and increase the number of attempts, any user that already reached the previous number of attempts remains ineligible for the quiz. It will not reopen for them to retake.
Randomize Questions	Select to show the questions in random order. Clear to show the questions in the order they appear on the Questions tab.
