Primary FunctionCreate and manage forms are used by supervisors and evaluators to score recorded interactions.
These fields control how scoring behaves, how compliance failures are handled,interactions and howmeasure evaluatorsagent interactperformance and compliance

The Evaluation Forms page is a dashboard for form management activities. It lists all evaluation forms with the form name and the date and time each form was last modified — this timestamp serves as the form's version ID.


Study Notes

TopicExplanation
Evaluation FormA structured scoring template used to assess recorded interactions
Question GroupA logical grouping of related questions within a form (e.g., Compliance, Greeting, Product Knowledge)
Question TypeDefines how the evaluator responds to a question (Multiple Choice, Yes/No, Range)
Fatal QuestionIf answered incorrectly, the entire evaluation automatically fails regardless of total score
Critical QuestionHigh-importance question that impacts score but does not cause automatic failure
Range QuestionEvaluator scores on a numeric scale (e.g., 1–5)
Yes/No QuestionBinary scoring — used for compliance checks
Multiple Choice QuestionEvaluator selects from predefined options, each worth a point value
PointsNumeric score value assigned per answer option
Help TextTooltip shown to evaluator when hovering over a question — improves scoring consistency
Require Additional CommentsForces evaluator to enter a comment for that question — used for coaching or compliance evidence
Conditional QuestionDisplays a question only when a prior condition is met — reduces form complexity
PublishMakes the form available for use in evaluations and policies
Version IDThe last-modified timestamp on the form list page

Critical Evaluation Fields

Field Description Implementation Purpose Example Use
Question Group Logical grouping of related questions within the evaluation form. Organizes the evaluationform into sections such as compliance, greeting, and product knowledge. Compliance / Greeting / SoftProduct SkillsKnowledge
Question Type Defines howHow the evaluator answers the question.question Determines scoring behavior.behavior Multiple Choice / Yes-No / Range
Points Numeric value assigned to eachper answer option.option Used to calculate the final evaluation score.score Correct answer = 1, Incorrect = 0
Help Text Tooltip displayedshown to thewhen evaluator when hoveringhovers over the question.question ProvidesGuidance guidancefor onconsistent how to score the question.scoring "Agent must verify customer identity before proceeding."
Require Additional Comments Forces the evaluator to enter comments for the question. Ensures detailed feedback for coaching or compliance.coaching/compliance Required for low low-scoring answers
Conditional Question Displays the questionShows only if a prior condition is met.met Keeps evaluationform forms shorterconcise and more context-aware.aware Only showShow escalation question only if customer asked for supervisor

Fatal Question

Field Description Implementation Purpose Example
Fatal Question If theanswered evaluator marks this question as incorrect,incorrectly, the entire evaluation automatically fails, regardless of the total score.score Used for critical compliance or legal requirements where failure is unacceptable. "Did the agent verify customer identity?"

Fatal Question Behavior

Agent Interaction
        ↓
Evaluator answers Fatal Question
        ↓
Incorrect Answer Selected
        ↓
Entire Evaluation Score = FailFAIL
(regardless of all other question scores)

When to Use Fatal Questions

Scenario Reason
Compliance violations Regulatory requirement — failure is not acceptable
Security verification failure Customer identity not verifiedconfirmed
Mandatory scriptlegal disclosures not followed Legal disclosuresor contractual obligation

Best practice: Use fatal questions sparingly — reserve them only for true compliance or legal requirements where failure is unacceptable.


Critical Question

Field Description Implementation Purpose Example
Critical Question ImportantHigh-importance question that significantly impacts the evaluation score but does not automatically fail the entire evaluation. Ensures high high-impact scoring without automatic failure.failure "Did the agent provide the correct product information?"

Critical Question Behavior

Agent Interaction

Evaluator answers Critical Question
        ↓
Incorrect Answer
        ↓
Points Deducted from Score
(evaluation does NOT automatically fail)

When to Use Critical Questions

Scenario Reason
Customer experience standards Greeting orquality, empathy
Product knowledge verification Accuracy of information given
Process adherence ProperCorrect workflow followed

Question Types

Range Question

Field Description Implementation Purpose Example
Range Question AllowsEvaluator evaluator to scorescores on a scale.numeric scale Used to measureMeasures qualitative performance.performance 1–5 rating scale

Example:Example scale:

Score Meaning

3 Acceptable
5 Excellent

Yes / No Question

Points Example:example:

Answer Points
Yes 1
No 0

Multiple Choice Question

Field Description Implementation Purpose Example
Multiple Choice Evaluator choosesselects from multiple predefined answers.options UsefulStructured for structured scoring.scoring Greeting quality rating

Best Practices for Evaluation Forms

Practice Reason
Use fatal questions sparingly Prevent unnecessary evaluation failures
Reserve fatal for legal/compliance requirementsOnly true pass/fail scenarios should auto-fail
Use range questions for soft skills Better measuremeasures qualitative performance like empathy
Provide help text for every question Improves evaluator consistency and reduces subjectivity
Group questions logically by topic Makes evaluation easier to followcomplete accurately
Use conditional questions Reduces form complexity and irrelevant questions
Keep forms focusedForms covering too many topics are harder to score consistently
Calibrate evaluators regularly against published formsEnsures form is interpreted consistently

QuickNaming Convention

Limitations / Constraints

ConstraintDescription
Form must be publishedForms in draft state cannot be used in policies or evaluations
Version trackingLast-modified timestamp is the version ID — no formal versioning system
Arabic dialect limitationDate/time display does not currently appear in standard Arabic format — to be resolved in a future update
