scale factor in Control attestation types/ assessment types

[Chaitanya Madd2]

we have a mandatory field "Scale factor" while creating attestations / assessments. There is no much information available in the documents also. How this will used in assessments/attestation results. I couldn't able to find where it is applied and the use case behind it.

Thank you in advance.

It is simply what you want the top score to be. A scale factor of 10 means all results will be a score out of 10. A scale factor of 500 would mean all results are a score out of 500 etc. The weights of questions are used to generate normalised values that line up with the scale factor, so that no matter what value you assign a question/answer, the maximum value for an assessment result will be the scale factor number and the minimum will be 0.

Thank you Luke! for your reply.

where we can see the results! i don't find any column related to this in assessment instance. so i stuck how to see the values related to this scale after an assessment or attestation is responded.

Thanks again!

The results are recorded in the Metric Result asmt_metric_result table for single question scores, and Assessment Category Result asmt_category_result for full category scores.

You usually can't see this from the Assessment Instance, you have to run the filter separately using the Instance as a filter.
