Evaluation forms allow evaluators to assess and score grant or scholarship requests at the application or LOI stages. Each request can be assigned to multiple evaluators, so multiple individuals can complete evaluation forms for the same request.
User Role: Administrator.
Use Evaluation Forms to:
- Collect structured feedback from evaluators using scoring questions that automatically calculate evaluation scores.
- Gather qualitative assessments through text responses, yes/no questions, or other question types beyond scoring.
- Standardize the review process by providing all evaluators with the same assessment criteria.
- Compile evaluator recommendations and comments in one location for decision-making.
Scoring questions are frequently added to evaluation forms as the system uses these questions to automatically calculate an evaluation score. Scoring questions do not have to be added, and other question types can be utilized on these forms as well.
Configure an Evaluation Stage contains instructions on enabling an evaluation stage in a process, setting up evaluators, and selecting various evaluation options.
