The PCA uses Program Rule Variables to reference Data Elements contained in the Assessment, and also to store temporary Calculated Values such as Scores (see Image 1).

Similarly to the Program Rules, the variables are identified as scripted when the variable name starts with an underscore (_). The Variables follow some naming conventions:

  • Calculated Values

_CV_Name

  • Compositive Scores (Variation of Calculated Values)

_CV_CSFeedback_Order

  • Questions in the Assessment

_SSection_NumberQQuestion_Number

  • Competency

_competencyNewest

  • Critical Score

_criticalNewest

  • Non-critical Score

_noncriticalNewest

Avoid starting the name of your custom Program Rule Variables with an underscore (_), as this is used by the PCA to identify scripted variables.

Scripted variables will be deleted when generating new Program Rules using the Set Up Program button or Build Program Rules.
