Categories Step

Note: The process for creating a 360 assessment is a multi-step "wizard" process. Your process may not include this step. The number of steps to be taken is defined by which source option you selected: Best Fit Workflow, Choose Workflow, or Start From Scratch.

A 360 assessment can have unlimited categories. The categories selected determine what competency and skill content items are displayed on the Content step.

Field Description
Available Items A list of all categories that can be added to the assessment. To select a category, click the add icon.
Selected Items When you have selected a category, it displays in this column. To remove it from the list of selected categories, click the delete icon. After you have removed a category, you will need to adjust the weights for the 360 assessment so they add up to "100".
Selected Items Column Buttons Use the buttons in the Selected Items to equalize the weight of the categories selected, or normalize the weight to 100.
  • Equalize Weights: Click to evenly distribute the weight value amongst the selected categories, to bring the total of the weights to "100.00". For example, if you have four categories in the table for the 360 assessment, each category will have a weight of "25.00".
  • Normalize Weights to 100: Click to normalize the weights to 100. The numeric weight values for those categories will bring the total weight to "100.00", but maintain the weight ratio you chose. For example, if you have four categories and typed "15", "40", "30", and "50" for the weights, the weights will update to "11.11", "29.63", "22.22", and "37.04" after you clicked the button to normalize the weights.
