To display a Rubric Grid in your form, you must have the **'Template Type'** of your data form template set to **'Rubric.'** Only then will the Rubric Grid component option appear. Choosing Rubric Grid will display a table with one criteria and its answer choice columns. This of one Rubric Grid component as one specific section of your rubric template.  When working with rubric grids, it's important to note this general structure: - **Domain** - The overall Section of your rubric grid, often designated by the Section Title your Rubric Grid component is housed in. For accurate data tracking, we highly recommend that you title your Rubric Grid component the same exact title as the Section it is housed in. - **Dimension (Criteria)** - The criteria specified within each component. These criteria act as the designation for each row in a Rubric Grid. Oftentimes, these criteria will be graded along a scale that you can label and adjust the scoring value of. - **Criteria Ratings** - The answer choices and overall grading scale for your criteria in the component. These choices are where you will enter the scores for each column of the component. - **Criteria Rating Descriptions** - The description for each answer choice along the Criteria Ratings scale. ![26059632581011-1](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26059632581011-1.png?width=670&height=417&name=26059632581011-1.png)   **IMPORTANT:  To ensure your rubric data is tracked accurately in Report Builder, we ask that you do not house more than one Rubric Grid component within the same section, or else your multiple Domains will not be tracked. To avoid this issue, always do the following:** - **Add a new overall Section to your rubric template for each Rubric Grid component you have. To add a new Section, click** - **Name the Title of your Rubric Grid component the exact same title as the overall Section it is housed in.**   #### **Modifying Domains** To begin building your rubric, click on the **'Section Title'** and add a title to this section. ![26059632592659-1](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26059632592659-1.png?width=670&height=72&name=26059632592659-1.png) Then click on your Rubric Grid component. Add the same exact title to it that you gave your overall Section and then give it a brief description.  ![26059632609683-1](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26059632609683-1.png?width=670&height=114&name=26059632609683-1.png) #### Modifying Rubric Settings **You can also adjust the overall Rubric Settings for each Rubric Grid :**   **![Screenshot 2026-09-30 at 3.37.57 PM](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-09-30%20at%203.37.57%20PM.png?width=612&height=43&name=Screenshot%202026-09-30%20at%203.37.57%20PM.png)** - **Required** - marks the whole grid and all of its criteria, including any enabled Criteria Free Text Areas, as \*Required to complete. - **Scored** - enables the grid to produce a numeric score total when answers are selected. - **Scoring within the rubric grid takes place on two tiers:** - **Overall Domain** - The score for each individual rubric grid domain is determined by calculating the average of each individual dimension (criteria) row. - **Cumulative Overall** - The cumulative overall score is derived by averaging the scores of each individual domain. - **Disaggregate Data** - modifies the way your scoring appears for this Rubric Grid component in Report Builder. - **Radio Style** - modifies the display of your rubric grid to have more of a multiple choice, radio button display instead of a grid aethetic - **Multi Select** - enables the ability for participants to select multiple answer choices along a given criteria row     #### **Modifying Dimensions (Criteria)** #### **Adding a Criteria Title** Click where it says **'Enter the Criteria here'** to open your criteria's settings. Here you can give your criteria row a title. You can also select whether you would like to **'Duplicate'** ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26032766330003-2.png?width=36&height=37&name=26032766330003-2.png)the entire criteria and all of its criteria rating descriptions or **'Delete'** ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26032766338067-2.png?width=35&height=35&name=26032766338067-2.png) the criteria and its associated descriptions.   #### **Displaying Criteria View** You can display the criteria label as its own column by clicking the **'expanded table icon'** under the Rubric Grid description. **![](https://support.torsh.co/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26032766351763-2.png)**   Clicking the **'single table icon'** places the criteria label above the criteria ratings.   **![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26032752034835-2.png?width=105&height=64&name=26032752034835-2.png)**   #### **Adding Rating Titles and Scores to Your Rating Scale** To modify the Criteria Rating Scale of your component, click on one of the pre-generated rating titles. This will display a place for you to enter your own Rating Title instead, as well as a numeric Score value to the column (If you wish for the component to be scored).   **![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/38306782403219-2.gif?width=597&height=297&name=38306782403219-2.gif)**   #### **Adding/Deleting Rating Columns** To add another Criteria Rating column, hover over any column you would like to place it beside. You will see a **'+'** icon to add or a **'trash bin icon'** to delete the current column you are hovering over. Click the **'+' icon** to add a column, and a dropdown menu will appear. Choose either **'Add Column Left'** or **'Add Column Right,'** and a new column with a generic 'Rating Title' title will display beside your already existing column.   **![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26032766390547-2.gif?width=647&height=216&name=26032766390547-2.gif)**   #### Adding Answer Choices Criteria Ratings will reflect as your answer choice options in each Criteria. Depending on their placement, their numeric score will be in-lign with the corresponding Rating Title above it. Enter either a title for the corresponding rating here and/or include the general description for each Criteria Rating option within each box that reads **'Describe the criteria rating here.'** You can be as short or as detailed as needed!   **![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26032752077331-2.png?width=631&height=320&name=26032752077331-2.png)**   #### Adding Checkbox and Radio Sets to Answer Choices Along with providing specific answer choices, you can also enable specific checklist or radio button items to be selectable when choosing a specific answer choice. Click either **'Add Checklist Set'** or **'Add Radio Set'** and type in the response field item for that specific answer choice that can be further selected. ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Sep-30-2026%2016-07-57-gif.gif?width=670&height=483&name=Sep-30-2026%2016-07-57-gif.gif) #### **Enabling N/A Scored Answer Choices** To enable an answer choice as **'N/A' or Not Applicable** to a scored row, **delete the Value** along the Grading Scale of that specific column. Next, click the toggle for **'Enable N/A.'** Doing so will ensure that this specific answer choice in the rubric grid will not count toward the final score if chosen.   ### **![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Sep-30-2026%2016-01-51-gif.gif?width=661&height=477&name=Sep-30-2026%2016-01-51-gif.gif)** #### Hiding Criteria If you want certain scored items of your rubric grid to be hidden for specific criteria rows, click the 'Hide Criteria' toggle to hide that specific answer choice from appearing there.   ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-09-30%20at%204-06-41%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=306&height=78&name=Screenshot%202026-09-30%20at%204-06-41%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)   #### **Adding a Text Comment Box** You can also add a **'Text Area'** below the specific criteria and toggle whether or not it is **Required** to enter to progress. For each text area to a criteria, you can display the Preview above it and adjust the **'Title'** of the text area as well as its **'Prompt.'**   **![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26032752084243-2.gif?width=635&height=315&name=26032752084243-2.gif)**   #### **Adding Additional Components Within a Criteria Row** On top of adding a Criteria Free Text Box, you can also select to add a **Criteria Free Component** that acts as an additional component within the criteria row. You can only add one additional criteria free component per row.   **![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-09-30%20at%204-15-39%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=266&height=136&name=Screenshot%202026-09-30%20at%204-15-39%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)**   #### **Adding a Criteria Row** To add another Dimension (Criteria) row, click **'+Add Row'** at the bottom of the Rubric Grid. ![](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/26032752093075-2.png?width=215&height=83&name=26032752093075-2.png)   Once you have finished with this Rubric Grid, you can always create another section to your rubric template by clicking **'+Add Component'** to add another Rubric Grid component below the one you just finished. You could scroll up to the top of the component and select the **'Duplicate' icon** to build another section off the a copy of the Rubric Grid you just finished building! You can even **'Move'** the placement of your rubric grid components and **'Delete'** them as needed.     ### **Request Signature** The **Request Signature** component allows participants to provide a hard-coded signature to the form they complete! This can be a useful if your organization requires virtual, handwritten signatures for secure verification and acknowledgement of the material provided in the completed form. With the Request Signature component, you can either designate a participant completing a form to provide their own signature and/or have the participant completing the form request signatures of other users who need to sign-off and acknowledge the form being completed. **Preview:** ![Screenshot 2026-08-26 at 3.36.35 PM](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%203.36.35%20PM.png?width=670&height=100&name=Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%203.36.35%20PM.png) **Settings:** ![45837515945875-1](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/45837515945875-1.png?width=670&height=543&name=45837515945875-1.png)   At the top, add a prompt to guide the participant. You can then mark the signature collection as **'Required'** in order to complete the form. You can also mark the signature component as **requiring the user completing the form to provide their signature**. In other cases, you may want to only have your signature collection be for users who have shared access to the form, or a mixture of both! You can then modify the default **Signature Acknowledgement Statement** as needed for your organization. This is a checkbox a user providing their signature will need to check in order to submit their signature. Below this setting are options to select for allowing the requestees of the signature multiple ways to **provide their signature**. Those options include: - Uploading a signature image - Hand-drawing a signature using their mouse/trackpad - Typing a signature using their keyboard Lastly, you can define whether or not you would like for the signature collection to operate Parallel or Sequentially. - **Parallel** - Signers can sign at any time, without waiting for others. - **Sequentially** - Signers must sign in the order chosen by the original participant of the form who sends out the signature requests. **NOTE: If you add multiple Request Signature components to a data form template, the first component will allow you to adjust settings for all Request Signature components. The others will only inherit the settings of the original one, although you can change the prompt titles for each component.**     ### **Tally** The Tally component allows observers to designate time-stamped tallies of specific activity accomplished (according to their rubric) during a video observation session. These tallies are each followed by notes the observer can leave to reinforce the usage of the activity. **In order for the Tally component to be made available while authoring a Data Form Template, the author must do the following:** 1. The form template must be designated as the **'Rubric'** Data Form Type. 2. In the **'Settings'** tab of the template, you must enable both **'Enabled for Data Forms'** and **'Enabled for Observations.'** **Preview:** ![Screenshot 2026-08-26 at 4.20.38 PM](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%204.20.38%20PM.png?width=670&height=161&name=Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%204.20.38%20PM.png) **Settings:** ![Screenshot 2026-08-26 at 4.20.47 PM](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%204.20.47%20PM.png?width=624&height=404&name=Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%204.20.47%20PM.png) At the top of these settings, add a prompt to either guide the participant or act as a title for this section. You can even provide a further description for instructions. Make sure to add text in each of the **Strategy/Indicator Labels**. If you would like to indicate a 'Recommended Frequency' for the average amount of tallies to be gathered for that specific Strategy/Indicator, please enter it in the **'Recommended Frequency'** field. To add another Strategy/Indicator Label, click the **'+ Add Strategy/Indicator'** button.   ![Screenshot 2026-08-26 at 4.22.33 PM](https://support.torsh.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%204.22.33%20PM.png?width=352&height=85&name=Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%204.22.33%20PM.png)   **To learn more about authoring Data Form Templates, read this Help article:  [HERE](https://support.torsh.co/how-to-author-a-data-form-template-admin?hsLang=en)** **To learn more about authoring Rubric Templates via Data Forms, read:  [HERE](https://support.torsh.co/how-to-author-a-rubric-template-via-data-forms-admin?hsLang=en)** -
