The Samaritan Assisted Evaluation Builder in SimCapture allows users to generate evaluation checklists based on Scenario content or from uploaded documents. Below are answers to common questions about supported formats and troubleshooting tips.

What kinds of evaluation questions are supported by Samaritan?

Samaritan supports a combination of:

• Multiple Choice Questions
• Short Answer Questions

These formats allow for flexible evaluation creation based on your scenario content or attachments.

What file types are supported by Samaritan?

Samaritan is compatible with a wide range of document formats. Supported file types include:

• .c, .cpp, .cs, .css
• .doc, .docx
• .go, .html, .java, .js, .json
• .md, .pdf, .php, .pptx
• .py, .rb, .sh, .tex, .ts, .txt

Tip: For best results, use editable formats like .docx or .txt.

Why isn't my evaluation being created correctly?

If you're using a supported file type but the evaluation isn't generating as expected, it may be due to formatting issues. Common problems include:

• PDFs with image-only content (no parseable text)
• Word documents with hidden comments or tracked changes
• Documents lacking clearly identifiable questions

Solution: Convert your file to an editable format (e.g., .docx) and ensure the content is clean and structured. Remove hidden elements and verify that questions are clearly written.
