Matrix Representation

You have the ability to define either a matrix score calculation or a formula based score calculation method for assessment template elements.

For example in the template, if the final score of the element has to be calculated based on the matrix score method then you must select 'This element is used as matrix' tick box when defining the element.

If matrix score calculation method is being used then it is not necessary to define a formula for that particular element.

It is possible to use a combination of matrix score calculation method and formula based score calculation method in a single assessment template and the overall score for the assessment template will be based on the formula defined for the assessment template (refer 'Assessment Template' for more information on assessment template formula).

If matrix score calculation is used for a particular level, then the very next level will be considered the final level and 'options and scores' are defined using 'Option Dropdown' method.

If a particular hierarchy element is defined using the matrix score calculation method, IPM Administrator then needs to define the preceding level elements and options.

The preceding level element can be defined using the 'Option Dropdown' method. Please refer 'Configure the Assessment Template Elements' for information on creating 'Option Dropdown' method elements.

Depending on the selection made when completing the assessment template appropriate criteria score will be used in the final assessment score calculation within the project.

If the you have only one top level element (Top level element weight = 100) and Matrix Score calculation method is used then criteria defined for the overall assessment template should be same as the criteria defined for the top level.
