Question Can I create complex, multi-screen quiz interfaces in Composr?
Answer While Composr's built-in quiz system is excellent for standard formats, creating intricate multi-screen quizzes might require custom development using Composr's decision tree framework or other programming tools. This allows for highly customized quiz structures and advanced branching logic.
Question How can I analyze quiz results effectively?
Answer Composr enables you to export quiz results to a spreadsheet file, facilitating in-depth data analysis. This is especially useful for manually marked questions, identifying competition winners, and processing data for marketing or research purposes.
Question What are Quiz Sets and how can I use them?
Answer Quiz Sets are a helpful organizational feature in Composr. By prefixing quiz names with "Example: ", you can group related quizzes together. This allows for combined scoring and percentage calculations, particularly beneficial for multi-part questionnaires or tests.
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.
