How to Create a Score Profile

To create a score profile, do the following:

1. Before creating a new score profile, you need to check some fields in the application where this score profile will be running.

• Make sure that a field in a document being used for scoring is set up as type 1-digit or 2-digit in the Output Field Entry dialog. This is often referred to as an Items field.

Only 1- and/or 2-digit items that are marked on a key sheet will be scored. If there are 1- or 2-digit items on a document that you do not wish to score, omit (do not mark) them on the associated key sheet.

• Make sure that any field created to store the total test score is set up as TypeNumeric and Fixed Length of 5 in the Output Field Entry dialog. There should be no grid associated with that field (shows with an asterisk in the field definition area of the application module window).
• Make sure that any field created to store a subtest score is set up as TypeNumeric and Fixed Length of 4 in the Output Field Entry dialog. There should be no grid associated with that field (shows with an asterisk in the field definition area of the application module window).

2. On the Score menu of the ScanTools main window, select New to display the Score Profile - (Untitled) window.
3. Move your mouse pointer over the first field in the window, the Score Profile File Name entry (Untitled) and click. The Profile Name dialog appears.
4. Enter a name for the profile and click OK.

• The next 5 lines of the display are application-wide options. Click on any of the lines that you want to change.
• Key Data dialog: Select Keys scanned online or Keys stored in profile.
• You can toggle between Apply edits to key data and Do not apply edits to key data.
• Store Keys/Append dialog.
• Print Scores dialog.

5. You can toggle between Sheet Compile Compatibility Off and On.
6. Click on the document name and a popup menu appears. Select Add Subtest. The Add Subtest dialog appears.
7. Enter a name for the subtest and click OK.
8. Go to the Store total score in field: none entry. Click on none to display the Total Score dialog.
9. Select the field name you want and click OK.
10. If you want to do formula scoring, click on No Formula scoring to display the Scoring Factor dialog.
11. If you want to do translates, click on Translates to display the Translate dialog.
12. Repeat steps 6-11 for each subtest. The only difference is in step 8 where you click on the Store subtest score in field: none instead of Store total score in field: none.
13. Click Save along the bottom of the dialog, then click OK. You have completed the score profile.
