Scoring visibility settings help reduce bias during the RFP process by hiding or obfuscating key attributes of the RFP. You can activate the settings if you enable scoring when creating an RFP, and they can be changed anytime before scoring begins from the RFP Details page. There are four separate scoring visibility settings that each control visibility of certain attributes while scoring:
-Hide scoring results until scoring is complete
-Hide vendor names until scoring is complete
-Hide scorer names until scoring is complete
-Hide unassigned sections until scoring is complete
Hide scoring results until scoring is complete:
This setting can be used independently of the other three settings. However, hiding scoring results will be automatically enabled if any of the other scoring visibility settings are enabled.
The following items are obfuscated or hidden until scoring is complete:
-Scoring results view from RFP dashboard
-Scoring results dashboard report
-Ability to export scoring details
Hide vendor names until scoring is complete:
