# 14. Rating & Scoring Solicitation Respondents

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**14. Rating & Scoring Solicitation Respondents**

*Module: Solicitations › Solicitations › 14. Rating & Scoring Solicitation Respondents*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

A solicitation's **Ratings & Surveys** tab has a **Rating and Scoring** subtable (6 rows on the example record) with columns for EmployeeID, VendorID, **Rating Type**, Rating, and **Rating Weight** — the live scorecard system described in the legacy topic. A separate **Bid Rating Weight** subtable configures the percentile weighting itself: rows named Quality (weight 5.00) and Company (weight 1.00) on the example record, each editable via **Manage**, with New, **Bulk add**, and Export controls to add or import additional weighted categories.

# 2. Key Elements

- **Ratings & Surveys** tab > **Rating and Scoring** subtable records each employee's rating of a vendor by **Rating Type**, with a Rating value and that type's **Rating Weight**
- **Ratings & Surveys** tab > **Bid Rating Weight** subtable defines the weighting scheme itself (e.g. Quality weighted 5.00, Company weighted 1.00), editable via **Manage** or added via New/**Bulk add**
- Rating Types are managed application-wide under Administration > Field Management (Area: Rating Types)
- Export is available on both subtables to pull ratings and weights out for offline review
