About this task
Each metric definition appears as one answer option for a question on an assessment
questionnaire. For example, a metric for the question "How satisfied are you with
the quality of this vendor?" has three metric definitions to create these answer
options: Very satisfied, Somewhat satisfied, and
Not at all satisfied.
Procedure
-
Open the metric record you want to edit.
-
In the Assessment Metric Definitions related list, click
New to create a new metric definition.
-
Fill in the fields:
- Display: Enter the text you want to appear as the
answer option.
- Value: Enter the numeric value, greater than or
equal to zero, to which the answer option equates. Values are used to
calculate metric results. When you view assessment questions, metric
definitions appear in order from least to greatest value.
- The system sets the minimum and maximum values according to the
metric definition values.
- To prevent reporting confusion, no two metric definitions for a
given metric should have the same Value.
