I)   The categories

There should be five categories for each SRC scorecard. These categories and their corresponding weightages are outlined in the CBPF Global Operational Handbook, provided below.

You must create the five categories, with their according weightages as per the above in the scorecard’s template.

     1) Add a category

To add or edit categories for a scorecard, click on the [Manage Category/Questions] link, present in the ‘Action’ column of the scorecard’s line.

OneGMS Focus: Exclusive Options 

Either of these 3 exclusive configurations can be selected:     

  1. Exclude entire Scorecard (check box):  

e

 If this box is checked, selecting the related question’s option during the Strategic Review process will grey out the entire scorecard. This implies that if this option is chosen to answer the question, it is no longer necessary to continue the strategic review. It is the most exclusive configuration.

OneGMS Focus : how to weigh the SRC scorecard’s elements (categories, questions, questions’ options/answers)  

When populating the scorecard, the system requests you to provide specific weightages for the following elements: 

Categories
Questions
Questions’ options 

During the Strategic Review process, the OneGMS draws from the weightages saved during the scorecard configuration to calculate the Strategic Review final score, which is given on a scale from 0 to 100.   

During the Strategic Review, when the reviewer answers a question in the scorecard by selecting one of the available options, the system saves the value linked to this option.  

When all questions within a category have been answered, the system provides a category score. This category score is calculated based on the selected options’ values AND the weightage associated to the questions.  

The system calculates the strategic review final score, i.e. the combination of all categories’ scores, based on the coefficient applied to the categories.  

Kindly note that the categories and their according weightages are fixed at global level, according to the below repartition: 

sa

However, the system is flexible regarding the weightage of both the questions within a category, and the options of a question. It is therefore up to HFU staff to associate weightages to the questions and the questions’ options.
