Evaluation forms are used to record evaluators' assessments of requests at the application or LOI stages. A request can be assigned to multiple evaluators, so the evaluation form could be completed by multiple individuals related to one request.
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.
