How to create open-ended questions.

This is possible by creating a question with a free-text answer. To create a question with a free-text answer, follow these steps:

1. On the main page, go to the tests menu and select the "Questions" option, and the system will automatically take you to the question list.
2. Click on the "New" button to create a new question.
3. In the "Type" field, select the option for a text or image question with a free-text answer of one or multiple lines.
4. After selecting the question type, a new field will appear where you can enter the valid answer. NOTE: It's important to consider that this field is case-sensitive, including capitalization, accents, etc. Therefore, it's recommended to enable the "Manual Scoring Only" option so that you can review the candidate's answer before assigning a grade. To correct them, you need to access the results report, click on the magnifying glass icon, locate the question you want to correct, and finally assign a grade.
5. Click on the "Save" button.

Alternatively, you can directly import questions by pasting them using the "Paste Questions" option (the button appears in the question list view). This way, you can quickly and easily create dozens of questions. It's also possible to create questions from the test builder (using the create questions button).

Additionally, once you have created a test that includes open-ended questions for manual grading, you can optionally define evaluators to assign scores to the open-ended questions. To define evaluators, in the process configuration view, in the options menu next to the test, select "Configure Evaluators" and choose the users you want to evaluate the test. You can define whether you want to consider the last evaluation or the average of the evaluators' scores.
