Tab: Questions
In the Questions tab, you can define the question structure for the supplier. You have the possibility to work with structure elements and to use existing question templates. In addition, you can store your own percentage weighting of the questions for each question/structure.
You can use the Display field to select the following ways of displaying the questions:
Compressed: Only structural elements and titles of questions are displayed, without description, images and file attachments.
Not compressed: All information (headings, descriptive text, images and file attachments) is displayed.
If you do not want to weight your questions, you can select No from the Weight drop-down menu. These settings then apply to all questions within this information request.
Questions from templates can be added to an information request using the New About Templates button. One gets to the information request question templates and can add more questions from here.
The total weighting of the questions must be 100%. With the Adjust weighting button the entered weighting can be adjusted. The system automatically adjusts the weighting to 100% according to the ratio.
Questions can be marked as K.O. criteria. In this case, the abbreviation K.O. is next to the question. Questions marked in this way are highlighted in the display and are only visible as such to internal users. Suppliers do not see which questions are K.O. criteria. K.O. criteria always have a weighting of 0%.
Questions that are not scored are marked with the abbreviation N.B. Questions marked in this way always have a weighting of 0%. It makes sense to mark those questions as non-assessable that are only of an informative nature (e.g. request for contact persons, addresses, etc.).
Non-public issues are also presented separately. These questions are not displayed to the suppliers.
