Capital Scoring Rules |
The Capital Scoring Rules screen enables you to create scoring rules. A capital scoring rule is a unique combination of a group and an element (i.e., a capital asset grouping ID and a capital score element ID). Capital scoring rules weigh the elements for a given group against each other and translate the data returned from the element (query) to a numeric score. The result is the sum of the weighted scores for each equipment unit in the group. The screen has one tab, Basic Info.
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
Capital asset grouping ID
Identifier of the capital asset group currently displayed in the grid or that you are defining. Maximum field length is 20 characters. This field has a list box. The asset grouping description displays to the right of the ID. This field is required.
Capital score element ID
Identifier of the capital score element currently displayed in the grid or that you are defining. Maximum field length is 20 characters. This field has a list box. The element description displays to the right of the ID. This field is required.
Note: A rule is defined by the combination of a specific capital score group and a capital score element, and may only be used once. You may, however, use a group with different elements to create multiple rules for that group, and you may use an element with different groups to make similar rules across other groups.
The fields in the bottom section of this tab enable you to define query results and assign values to them.
Result type
Specify whether the expected output of the query will be TEXT or NUMERIC. For example, 100 (numeric) or PASS (text). This field has a list box. Required.
Factor
The relative weight of this capital scoring rule when added to the output from the other rules with different elements being scored for the group.
If the expected output of the rule query (Element) is text, then add a line for each possible text output and enter a corresponding score effect value. For example, the query might return values of HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. In this example, HIGH is worth a score of 30, MEDIUM is worth a score of 20, and LOW is worth a score of 10.
If the expected output of the rule query (Element) is numeric, add a line for the score to be assigned to each range of possible numeric values. For example, the query might return values of 1-10. In this example, a range of 1-3 is worth a score of 10, 4-7 is worth a score of 20, and 8-10 is worth a score of 30.

To delete the entries in the fields to the right, place a check in this field and click Save.

The text for queries that return text values. This field is optional.
Score effect
The score assigned to the numeric or text value. Can be a positive number, a negative number, or zero. Defaults to zero.
