Scorecards
Scorecard voting allows users to assess ideas by rating them on various criteria, thereby providing a nuanced evaluation.
When using scorecard voting, the idea score shows the overall rating the idea has received and the average rating for each criteria.
Users rate ideas on a scorecard by assigning 1-10 points to each criterion, with 1 as the lowest and 10 as the highest. After voting, they can view their given scores at the bottom of the score panel.
Setting up a Scorecard
When creating a new challenge, the Scorecard can be found in the vote settings for your challenge type - these may be in a milestone, a phase or for the challenge as a whole, depending on the chosen type of challenge.
To use a scorecard vote, select the Scorecard from the Voting settings for your challenge. This opens the scorecard voting options where you can tailor your scorecard to suit your challenge. You can decide what criteria you would like users to rate an idea on, how many criteria you ask, and the scale that they rate the ideas against.
Add each criteria by giving it a title and an optional short description in the criteria table.
You can add further criteria by selecting Add criteria and repeating this process as many times as needed, making sure you click save when you have added all the criteria you need.
Scoring labels
Use Scoring labels to explain what the 1-10 scale means, for instance, 1 might mean Poor and 10 might mean Excellent. These labels show under each criteria scale when a user hovers their pointer over it.
You can enter a label to explain each rating on the scale, or you can just add them to a few (e.g., 1 =Poor, 5=good 10=excellent).
After providing your labels, click Save to retain the changes.
Cloning a Scorecard
When you have previously defined a scorecard for another challenge, you can clone it to reuse all its criteria and descriptions except for the scoring labels.
To reuse a scorecard from a past challenge, use Use a scorecard from a previous challenge to select the existing source challenge.
