How to configure a Project (technical)

A Project links together all the main components of an Evaluation or Review. Evaluator Users are then assigned to the relevant elements of the Project to enable them to answer questions via Answer Sheets. Projects are created and managed by Administrators/Project Managers.

The following are the main steps required to build a working Project:

1. Create Project – this is the container for the Project elements.
2. Create Exercises – these represent the main high-level phases of your evaluation.
3. Create Submissions – these identify the suppliers or bids that are to be evaluated.
4. Create Answer Measures – these define the data to be collected within the evaluation.
5. Create Questions – these represent the questions which evaluators will answer.
6. Add Project Users – these are added to the Project from a pool of Account users.
7. Assign Users to Questions – these are added to specific Questions.
8. Create Document Groups – these are folders which will hold the Documents.
9. Upload Documents – these are loaded into AWARD so users can view/assess them.
10. Create References – these are search terms used to search Documents.

These steps (apart from Create Project) can be carried out in any order and at any stage of the Project’s duration.
