Criteria section calculation
For user-defined criteria, weights can only be specified at the section level. If you do not specify a weight for the section, the entire section is ignored.
Criteria within a user-defined criteria section all use the same rating scale. Criteria that use other types of responses (yes/no, text, or multiple choice) are ignored in the calculation.
- Each criteria score is added and divided by the number of criteria.
- The resulting score is divided by the number of levels in the rating scale.
- The result is multiplied by the number of levels on the overall rating scale. It is displayed on the appraisal summary, in text and graph, on the same rating scale as the overall rating scale.
Example
| Score | Rating scale | Percent calculation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Criteria 1 | 2 | 6 | 2.00000 |
| Criteria 2 | 5 | 6 | 5.00000 |
| Criteria 3 | 3 | 6 | 3.00000 |
| Criteria 4 | 4 | 6 | 4.00000 |
| Criteria section non-weighted percent calculation |
(2+5+3+4)/4/6 Total = 0.5833 (58.33%) |

| Section non-weighted score based on an overall rating scale with 5 levels | 0.5833*5 = 2.92 | ||
