Setting Up Rating Methods
A inspection rating method may have one or more rating ranges, which an inspector uses to evaluate the object of an inspection. You add, modify, or delete rating methods and rating details for inspections on the Rating Method page.
If you are using scoring for inspections, you must also set up rating methods. Rating methods are used at the inspection type level and are not required at the checklist or checklist item levels.
Adding Rating Methods
You add an inspection rating method by setting up the rating method code with a description and rating details. For example, an agency might use GRADES as the rating method code, with a description of Standard Grades. The rating details might include grades such as A (high) to F (low), and provide a range of scores to each rating. If the rating for an A grade is defined by 90-100 points, an inspection score of 95 would receive an A.
