How can I configure rating criteria?

Use the Element Configuration to enable different rating criteria for your element types or to create completely new rating criteria.

Evaluating the content in your platform is integral to successful innovation management and foresight. Whether it is the impact a market trend will have on your organization, the disruptiveness of a technological change, or the feasibility of an idea or initiative.

The ITONICS Innovation OS comes with templates for element types (such as trends, technologies, or ideas) that include rating criteria. However, your individual rating criteria may depend on your unique innovation management process and your innovation objectives.

With Element Configuration, you have that freedom!

Configuring Rating Properties

Enter the Element Configuration tab via the Workspace settings located in the navigation menu, find it by clicking on the workspace name in the top left corner.

On the next screen, you will enter the element configuration.

In the element configuration you create, edit, or delete all element types and their properties in your workspace.

Start with selecting the element type to which you want to add rating criteria [1]. You then have the option to create a new rating block [2], add a new rating criteria to an existing rating block, or delete the rating entirely.

To edit a rating, click on the property and start editing.

When you create the rating criteria [3] and click on property, you will find all existing rating criteria from your workspace [4]. To add one to your rating block, click on it.

Element property definitions are shared.

Changing the definition of one property, will change the definition of every property that uses the same name, across your workspace.

To create a new rating criteria, click "+Create property". Now, you can either create a numerical rating, a standard rating, or an aggregated rating [6].

Rating configuration

All rating types share the following settings:

  • Property name - required for all types.

     

  • Invert values order - flips the display order in visualizations.

     

  • Read only - toggle via the settings (⋯) icon menu on the criteria card. When enabled, a Read-only label appears on the card and users can view but not submit ratings for that criteria.
