Visibility
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall score is not visible by default. Jury manager can make it visible to reviewer (cf :ref:`review settings`).


Scope of question used in computing a score
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not all question can be used in the score, only numerical range and textual range can be used.
By default a question is not used for the overall score.
The jury manager have to indicate explicitly that the question is used in the score.

How it is computed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Numerical range
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a question with an numerical answer in ``[a;b]``, the answer is converted into a percentage
where ``a`` is ``0%`` and ``b`` is ``100%``.

Textual range
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a question answered with a text range such as ``No;Neutral;Yes``.
We use the position of the answer in the list of possible answer, and then convert it as for numerical range.
In this example, ``No`` is ``0%``, ``Neutral`` is ``50%`` and ``Yes`` is ``100%`` (cf :ref:`question system text range`)

Aggregating the answer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once all eligible and convertible answers have been converted into a percentage, the score is the average of the percentage.

The overall score of a candidate for its recommendations is computed with all the respond given by referees for this candidate. If answers are missing they are not taken into account.

The overall score of a review stage, is computed on the answers provided by reviewers for this candidate in this review stage.
