Question	How does scoring work for quizzes with different question types?
Answer	Multiple-choice and short answer questions: These are automatically marked based on your defined correct answers. Long answer questions: These require manual marking, resulting in a percentage range being displayed to the user until you assess their response. Unmarked questions: These questions are collected but don't contribute to the overall score, allowing you to include optional or non-scored elements.

Question	Can I reward users for completing quizzes?
Answer	Yes, you can reward users with points for successfully passing a test. This incentivizes participation and encourages users to engage with your content.

Question	How can I implement security measures for my quizzes?
Answer	Composr provides several features to enhance quiz security and prevent cheating: Restrict access: Limit quiz participation to specific usergroups or newsletter subscribers. Shuffle content: Randomize question and answer order to make it harder to copy answers. Set time limits: Enforce quiz completion within a specified timeframe. Define open time ranges: Control when the quiz is accessible to participants.

Question	How do I create and manage quizzes in Composr?
Answer	You can create, edit, and delete quizzes from the Composr Admin Zone: Navigate to Admin Zone (or CMS Zone) > Content > Quizzes. Use the provided interface to define your quiz questions, answer options, and settings. You can manage quiz results and view participant responses under Admin Zone > Audit > Quizzes.

Question	What types of quizzes can I create in Composr?
Answer	Composr supports three main types of quizzes: Surveys: These quizzes gather information from participants without right or wrong answers, making them ideal for collecting opinions and feedback. Tests: Tests assess knowledge with right and wrong answers and provide immediate feedback to participants, including pass/fail results. They're suitable for evaluating understanding of a topic. Competitions: These quizzes rank participants based on their scores, allowing you to select winners. Competitions are great for engaging users and promoting specific content or events.

Question	How does rank work in Conversr?
Answer	Conversr utilizes a rank system based on your accumulated rank points. As you earn points, you progress through different usergroups, unlocking new privileges and benefits. Your rank is a status symbol within the community and often grants access to exclusive features or content. This is subject to your configuration. To make a rank ladder based on points, go to Admin Zone > Security > Usergroups. You are given options regarding ranks when adding or editing a usergroup. Members can see their rank and progress on their member profile rank tab. They can also see all the rank-based benefits they unlocked and ones yet to unlock in future ranks.

Question	What is points escrow and when would I use it?
Answer	Points escrow is a system that holds points securely during transactions involving a written agreement, often for a product or service. This ensures trust and provides a resolution mechanism in case of disputes. Creating an Escrow: You initiate an escrow on the member's profile points tab, specifying the amount, reason, and any agreement details. Points Held: The points are deducted from your balance and held by the system. Agreement Fulfillment: Both parties must mark the escrow as satisfied upon fulfilling the agreement. Points Release: Once both parties are satisfied, the recipient receives the points. Disputes: If either party has a dispute, they can dispute the escrow, which then locks it down and notifies a staff member to review and take a resolution action.

Question	Can I create a leaderboard to showcase top point earners?
Answer	Yes, Composr offers a leaderboard block and module to display top point holders. You can customize the leaderboard to show weekly, monthly, or yearly rankings, filter by usergroups, and exclude staff members if desired. This can encourage healthy competition and motivate members to earn points. Go to Admin Zone > Setup > Leader-boards to create a leader-board.

Question	How can I modify points for members?
Answer	Staff members with the "Moderate members' points" privilege can directly credit or debit points from members' accounts. This can be used to reward exceptional contributions, refund purchases, or penalize rule violations.

Question	What is the purpose of the points ledger?
Answer	The ledger provides a transparent and immutable record of every point transaction on the website. It ensures accountability and allows members to track their point activity. Members can view their own ledger, and with the appropriate privilege, they can also see the ledgers of others.

Question	Can I use the calendar as a personal diary and keep my entries private?
Answer	Yes. When adding an event to the calendar, you can choose to make it public or private. Private events are generally used when someone wants to use the calendar system as a diary.

Question	How can I set up reminders for events?
Answer	When adding or editing an event, you can enable reminders for yourself and specific user groups. You can also choose how much notice you want for each reminder. Members can subscribe for reminders on an individual event screen. They can also personalize their reminder settings, including removing reminders or having multiple reminders at different times. Members can also subscribe for notifications to specific event types to be notified whenever events under those types are scheduled.

Question	How can I schedule Commandr commands to run automatically?
Answer	To schedule commands, create an event with the "System command" event type. This option needs to be enabled in the configuration first. In the event details, you can specify either a URL for Composr to call or a snippet of Commandr code to execute. Be sure to disable the WYSIWYG editor for this type of event. You'll also need to have the system scheduler configured for the commands to run automatically.

Question	Can I add external feeds to the calendar?
Answer	Yes, you can add RSS or Atom feeds to your calendar. This lets you view time-based information from external sources alongside your calendar events.

Question	What do I do if a recurring event needs to be changed or skipped?
Answer	Composr has a "fixing an event" feature to handle changes to recurring events. This is useful if an event needs to be cancelled or rescheduled. You edit the event as if it were a new, standalone event and choose the "Edit with fixing past recurrences" option. This separates the past occurrences from the modified event, ensuring future recurrences reflect the changes.

Question	What is the "recurrence pattern" and how does it work?
Answer	The recurrence pattern is a powerful tool that defines how often an event repeats. While it might seem complex at first, it provides a lot of flexibility. Think of it as a binary code where each digit represents a time period (like a day or week). A "1" indicates the event occurs, and a "0" means it doesn't. This lets you create complex schedules like "every weekday" (daily with pattern `1111100` if it starts on a Monday) or "every other Tuesday" (weekly on Tuesday with the pattern `10`).

Question	What are the different views available in the calendar?
Answer	The calendar has five views: Year view: Displays an overview of the entire year. Month view: Shows events within a specific month. Week view: Displays events for a selected week. Day view: Shows events scheduled for a specific day. Event view: Displays the details of a single event. You can easily navigate between these views to get different levels of detail and focus on specific periods or events.

Question	How do I add events to the calendar?
Answer	You can add events in several ways: Through the Admin Zone or Content Management Zone: Go to Admin Zone > Content > Calendar. Directly on the calendar: Click on a date box on the calendar view. Using the "Add Event" button on any calendar view. Deleting events can be done at the bottom of the event's edit form. You have options for recurring events, such as editing/deleting the specific occurrence, editing/deleting future ones, or all of them.

Question	How do I categorize events?
Answer	You categorize events using "Event types". Composr provides default types like "Anniversary", "Appointment", "Birthday", "General", "Public Holiday", "Task", "Vacation", and the special "System command" for executing Commandr commands. You can also add your own custom event types to suit your specific needs, such as "Appraisal Session" for a business website.

Question	What is an "event" in the Composr calendar system?
Answer	An event is any entry in the calendar. Importantly, an event isn't limited to a single point or range in time. Events can recur based on a schedule you define. This makes them very flexible – they can represent anything from one-time appointments to recurring birthdays or even weekly team practices.
