Associating the assessment scores with the form elements 


The left pane of the main CALM screen shows the assessment and its score hierarchy and two mandatory variables, namely Time and Date which should be associated with text edit controls in the form. (If you have multiple forms for an assessment, then this time and date text boxes  must be in the first form, or in the cover page of the assessment).
Each document can have multiple pages (forms). So you can associate an assessment score with a component ( like an edit field) or with a group of components ( like a group of radio boxes). When a score is associated with a form component its tree node becomes green (See below).


Select a score in the assessment maintenance tree and press Right mouse button to show the popup menu as shown above.  Select Associate from the popup menu.
 
Now you  need to click the right mouse button on the form element (e.g. text edit  field) or one of the form elements within a logical group you want to associate this score. If you want to associate a score with a logical group, then the score must have a corressponding list of score codes,
otherwise you will get a warning message and not allowed to associate the score with the logical group of components.

     
CALM uses the score code values for the selected score from the database (or the offline new assessment) and by default assigns each form element in the group to the possible score values in ascending order. You can change the assignment order of the form elements by clicking and selecting from the drop-down of the table cell under Associated Component column. The security classification info is read from the database
even though you may be working on a new assessment, which is not persisted to the database yet.
