About evaluation tools

Evaluation tools are used to capture opinions regarding the information in a case, and use symbols, instead of text to denote record status.

CM_evaluation_field_options CM_evaluation_criticality_options

Use these symbols to track and communicate the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and even compare yours with other case staff to see how opinions line up.

Evaluation fields are provided on the following spreadsheets:

Questions — Automatically generates the Criticality field when you start a new case, use to track the ranking of questions and tasks
Facts — Insert the Evaluation field to track how facts affect the strengths/weaknesses of the case.
Research — Insert the Criticality field to track the strengths/weaknesses of research in supporting the case.

 

Evaluation fields display in the following areas:

Spreadsheet views as fields
Detail dialog boxes as rows
hmtoggle_plus1Search, tag, and sort evaluation fields

You can still run search filters, apply tags, and sort based on values in the Evaluation fields. For example, you can filter the Facts spreadsheet to only those facts that are rated high or those rated low. Filters based on Evaluation fields can also be combined with those based on other aspects of the case to refine the data you display.

Right-click on the Evaluation field and select Sort Ascending or Sort Descending so that the symbols or status group together by type. For example, you can sort the Questions spreadsheet based on question criticality so that the most important questions in your case are listed first.
