Create and Manage Evaluations

Create and Manage Evaluations

Start a sourcing event.
Evaluations dashboards enable stakeholders and evaluators to manage the evaluation process for suppliers and their bids and view their own pending, draft, or completed evaluations. Evaluations enable you to:
  • Define questions for stakeholders to evaluate bid submissions.
  • Collect a standard set of evaluations from each stakeholder.
  • Set a scale for numeric scoring and select weights for questions.
  1. Navigate to the
    Events
    Events
    tab and access your sourcing event from the list of events.
  2. Select the
    Evaluation
     tab from the left side panel.
  3. Draft your evaluation in the
    Evaluation
     section.
    You can link your event questionnaire to your evaluation. See Link Event Questionnaire to an Evaluation.
    Scoring questions are the only questions that you can assign a weight to. To assign a weight to a section, you must add a scoring question to that section. To apply weights evenly to questions in a section, click
    Apply even weights
     in the
    Section Title
     section. To enter a weight for each section, select
    Sections
    . The weight total must equal 100%. To apply weights evenly to sections, click
    Apply Evenly
    .
    You can adjust stakeholder visibility for sections. When you select the
    Results Visibility
     check box, all stakeholders can see all evaluation results on the
    Evaluation Comparison
     page, regardless of stakeholder event permissions.
  4. To publish the evaluation, click
    Edit Event
     to go to the event page.
  5. In the
    Build an Evaluation
     section, enter an evaluation due date and click
    Publish Evaluation
    .
Stakeholders begin their evaluation when a supplier submits a bid to the event.
