Defining a grading system

Grades provide an indication of quality of the information that is represented within an item. For example, if the information is accurate or reliable.

About this task

To allow the quality of information to be evaluated consistently, the same grading system should be applied to charts of the same type. You can use the Grading System page to define the grades that are used within your template.

Procedure

To define the grading system:
  1. Click File > Chart Properties > Definitions > Grading System.
    The grading system is displayed.
  2. Select the Grade list to which you want to add a grade, then click New below the list.
    A new grade is created below the selected grade with the default name of "New Entry".
  3. Select this grade and type the letter, number, or name that is required for this grade.
  4. To move the grade up or down the list, click the new grade and drag it to its new position.
