Adding basic scores to an observation / answer line
You can add scoring directly to an observation or answer line. The scoring is based on a topic and a scoring method. If you selected basic scoring as method, proceed as follows:
Procedure
1. In Assessments, go to Results > Observations or to Results > Answer lines.
* 
It is not necessary to pre-filter data by selecting records on the previous selection levels / steps. You can go directly to the relevant selection level and step.
2. Select the observation / answer line to which you want to add a score.
3. Go to Details > Scoring.
4. On the action panel, click Add Basic scoring.
5. If no topic is filled in yet, select a relevant topic in the Topic field.
6. On the data panel enter more relevant data for the basic scoring.
When you select a Topic level for the first time, the system automatically fills in the Score field. The reverse is also true: when you enter the Score first, the Topic level is calculated. Calculation is based on the ranges that are defined on the Topic.
7. Click Save.
You can add multiple scoring records per topic, provided that they have different time stamps. All the scores of a topic can be aggregated, either manually, or automatically via a calculator app. See Manually adding aggregated topic scores and Configuring a calculator for automatic topic score aggregation.
The added score is displayed in the Scoring details field on the observation / answer line. It is also displayed at Details > Scoring, in the Score column on the elements list.
