Test & Evaluate

Test & Evaluate is the third tab of the preview panel, and the fastest way to see what the evaluators actually do. You give it a response, it runs Criteria, Scoring, Skills, Summary, and Generated fields over it, and shows every result next to the answer that produced it. Use it whenever you change an evaluator. A rule that looks right on the card is often wrong the first time it meets an answer.

​

Filling in the answers

The tab lists every question except the endings, as a compact input. Badges after the question label say what the evaluators will do with it: Must or Nice from Criteria, and one badge per skill the question feeds. Type the answers yourself, or let the AI write them. Autofill with AI fills every question in one go, and the chevron beside it picks the kind of respondent to imitate.

• Random answers is plausible but uninformed. Good for a first look.
• Ideal candidate answers the way someone who meets every criterion would.
• Borderline candidate aims at the middle, which is where a scoring mistake shows.
• Unqualified candidate should come back rejected. If it does not, a must-have is not doing its job.
• Partially completed leaves questions unanswered, which is how you check an Incomplete verdict.

The scenarios are not generic. The autofill sends your questions and your evaluation rules to the model, so “ideal” means ideal for this form’s criteria, and “unqualified” is aimed at failing them. The evaluation runs on its own as soon as there is an answer, and again a moment after you change one. There is no button to click. Reset answers at the bottom clears everything.

​

Reading the results

The results appear under the answers, starting with one panel per evaluator you switched on. Each panel shows the headline result, and clicking one opens its detail underneath. Criteria groups the questions under Must-have and Nice-to-have, with a tick or a cross, the answer, and the expected answer where you wrote one. A question judged by AI carries an AI chip and the model’s one-line reasoning, which is the fastest way to see whether your note landed. Scoring shows the percentage, the points tally, and what each question earned out of its own maximum. Skills shows a bar per skill. Summary and Generated fields sit below the panels, so they stay in view whichever detail you have open. A grey No result yet is what the panels show before you enter an answer. If one stays grey after a run, that evaluator had nothing to work with. The usual cause is a question switched on with no rules written, which leaves the evaluator with no question to judge.

​

Automation variables

Automation variables at the bottom lists every value this response makes available to an automation, with the variable to copy and the result from the run in front of you. This is the list to build an automation against. Reading passed next to {{form_response.evaluation.screening}} tells you the exact value to compare, which guessing does not. See Variables.

​

What it does not do

A run here creates no response. The form’s results are untouched, the response count does not move, and nothing reaches an automation. The evaluation is real, the response is not. If none of Criteria, Scoring, and Skills is on for the form, the tab shows an Enable Criteria, Enable Scoring, and Enable Skills button in place of the result panels. Each one switches that evaluator on for the form without leaving the tab. See the Evaluation tab for what to configure next.
