Acceptance Criteria Acceptance Criteria Tab
Use this tab to set the minimum acceptance score and to specify the metrics that are used to calculate the acceptance criteria score.
Acceptance Criteria Common Fields
For a description of the fields and menus above the tabs, see Acceptance Criteria Common Fields.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Minimum Acceptance Score |
Select the score that the schedule must attain in order to be accepted. You can select a number between 0 and 100. Touchstone compares an uploaded schedule to the acceptance criteria metrics and scores the schedule based on the metric influence selector values. If the score is equal to or greater than the score listed here, the schedule passes and Touchstone displays Accepted in the Submittals view Status column. If the score is less than the score listed here, Touchstone displays Rejected in the Submittals Status column and the submitter can view a report of the issues that caused the schedule to fail. Note: No matter whether or not the schedule passes or fails, the submitter and reviewer can view a report of the issue found by the metric in the submitted schedule.

Remarks | Use this field to add any additional information or description about the score or the appropriate use of this acceptance criteria. |
Scoring Method |
Select the method you want Touchstone to use to evaluate metrics used for calculating the score.
The "number of tripwire results" in the above calculations takes into account ONLY the number of metrics that have their "Tripwire Formula" tab enabled on the Metrics tab in Deltek Acumen. |
Metrics Used to Calculate Score
Use this grid to add metrics and to set the influence value. Touchstone uses them to evaluate the schedules and determine the acceptance criteria score for each schedule. You can select metrics from the list of imported metrics, and to set the influence value.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Folder | This is the folder where the metric is located. |
Metric | This is the name of the metric. |
Influence Selector / Influence Value |
Use the influence Selector to indicate how one metric counts towards the overall score for a group of metrics. You can choose values on a +/- 10-point sliding scale. The higher the value, the more impact the metric in question has on the score. By default, metric selectors are set to the midpoint on the scale which has no impact on the score. This allows you to include metrics for reporting purposes. Move the Influence Selector slider or enter a value in the Influence Value field to adjust the value of each metric. When you adjust the Influence Selector, the Influence Value changes accordingly and vice versa. For each condition that the schedule meets, it accumulates a point value, whether the point value is negative or positive. The score is then normalized on a scale of 0 to 100 and compared to the Minimum Acceptance Score. |
+ Add Metric |
Click to add a metric to the grid. The grid is hierarchical and shows the folders in which the metrics are stored. Place a check next to each metric that you want to add. Click a folder to select or deselect all metrics within that folder. |
X (Delete) |
When you hover over a line in the Metrics Used to Calculate Score grid, an X displays on the right side of the line. Click the X to remove the metric from the acceptance criteria template. |
