# Use the target values

With target values you can make specific sets of answers per item for a specific question:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Source Type | Select **Item** or **Item Category**. |
| No. | Select an item or an item category based on the **Source Type** setting. |
| Question | Select a question for which you want to set the specific target values. |
| Type | Filled after the question is selected: **Boolean**, **Lookup**, **Numeric**. |
| Boolean | Type the target value (**Yes**, **No**) for this question. |
| Lookup | Select the assist edit to open the list of lookup values. You can add lookup values, change the target setting, and update the score values. When set, the field shows the lookup values marked as target. |
| Numeric | Type the target value and use the assist edit to open the list of tolerances. Set the **From** and **To** values as well as the score and the result status (**Accepted**, **Ambiguous**, or **Rejected**). Set the **Value Type** (**Fixed**, **Percentage**) in the **Question List**. |

## Set up target values for items

You can also set target values from the **Item card**:

1. Navigate to the **Item card**.
2. On the **Actions** tab, select **Target Values** to open the **Target Values** page.
3. Adjust the target values of the type: **Boolean**, **Lookup**, **Numeric** as required.

## Set up target values for variants

You can also set target values for item variants:

1. Make sure a question with default answers is created first.
2. From the **Item card**, open the **Variants List per Item**.
3. From the **Variants List per Item**, open **Target Values**.
4. On the **Target Values** page, select the question for which you want to specify the values.
5. Drill down on the question type to update the values specific to the variant.
