How to sum up values with Survey Instance

[mattgr]

Hi Friendly crowd.

How can I sum up  values  from the survey instance and then  place it in the  'Survey total score' (u_survey_total_score)

The end goal is to create a notification based on the score. Any help very much appreciated.

You could try a business rule that runs every time a new metric result is created to sum up the scores for you and put the total in the field you need.

Sure, but that's the bit I'm struggling on , to build one

Here is what I've come up with.

The Business Rule runs on the asmt_assessment_instance_question table after insert/update and combines both GlideRecord to get the instance that needs to be updated and GlideAggregate to get to SUM you've requested to put into the u_survey_total_score field on the instance.

var ir = new GlideRecord('asmt_assessment_instance');
ir.get(current.instance);

var gr = new GlideAggregate('asmt_assessment_instance_question');
gr.addQuery('instance', current.instance);
gr.addAggregate('SUM', 'value');
gr.setGroup(false);
gr.query();
while(gr.next()){
	var sumVal = gr.getAggregate('SUM', 'value');
}

ir.u_survey_total_score = sumVal;
ir.update()

you are already my personal hero for helping me with this  thing, I have used it, but for whatever reason, it sum it up to 18 like it is missing  one question scored 5

The one with 0 is expected to be that way as it is a comment box.

I have tried  a few more times, and  I don't know how this is calculated:
