Understanding Event Analysis for Requests for Information

Use the Analyze Event form, which you access from the Event Workbench program (P43Q70), to analyze both requests for information (RFIs) and requests for quotes (RFxs).

The event analysis process for an RFI involves reviewing and comparing the responses from bidders to the header questions that are attached to the event to determine the bidders with whom you want to conduct business. For each question, you can toggle between viewing bidders' scores and viewing their responses. You can also change the weights that are associated with each question and then review how the score for each bidder changes.

The Analyze Event form provides further options for event analysis by enabling you to add new questions to the event and enter responses on behalf of the bidders. You can also change bidders' responses to existing questions and change ideal responses. You can either save the new responses and resulting scores or discard the changes to preserve the original responses.

If an event includes text questions, you can assign scores to the responses of each bidder. As you assign scores to each response, the system adds them to the total scores for each bidder.
