Create quizzes to engage and educate members.

Quizzes

Quizzes engage members with questions, optional video, and points for correct answers or passing scores. Assign quizzes to categories, schedule open/close windows, and optionally write Quiz Points to a Data Bucket for use in leaderboards, tiers, and awards.

For bucket setup and saving results, see Data Buckets—this guide focuses on the Quizzes app.

Both Pass rate % and Points awarded for passing must be filled (or left at meaningful values) before Save Quiz enables when bucket mapping is complete.

  • Click Save Quiz in the sticky footer when Save Quiz is enabled (pending changes exist and required fields are valid).
  • After quiz points flow to a bucket, Save Data Bucket on that bucket so Quiz Points refresh in linked apps.

How Quizzes connect to Data Buckets

When Add points to a Data Bucket is enabled on Points Rules:

  1. Points earned from the quiz are written to the selected bucket category.
  2. Save Data Bucket recalculates participant totals.
  3. Quiz Points become available as operands in Tiers, Awards, Leaderboards, and Target Trackers.

Tips and limitations

  • Editor role required — Observers cannot create, edit, or delete quizzes.
  • Category required — Create at least one category on the Categories tab before adding quizzes.
  • Pass rate and pass points — Points Rules requires both fields when configuring scoring; the save button stays disabled until bucket selections are complete when Add points to a Data Bucket is checked.
  • Answer points vs pass points — Members can earn per-answer points plus pass bonus points; the tab shows the combined maximum.
  • Open/Closed indicator — Updates on a schedule check; save after changing dates to confirm behavior.
  • Inactive and Archive — Set status to Inactive or Archive instead of deleting when retaining history.
  • Demo programs — Create, save, delete, and uploads are disabled on demo programs.
  • Tags control visibility — Member and company tags on Settings limit who sees the quiz on the site, not who exists in the program.
Typical publish flow: Create Categories → create quiz → add Questions with correct-answer points → set Points Rules and optional bucket mapping → configure Schedule → set Active and tags → add Quizzes page/component in Design Studio → Save QuizSave Data Bucket on linked buckets.
