It is common for a long tender to be broken up into sections.  For example, you may wish to break a request's questionnaire into Financial, Experience, WHS, and Price sections.

Step-by-step guide

To add a sections

  1. Sign-in to https://360users.apetsoftware.com.au/ as the Request Manager

  2. From the main menu, click Requests

  3. If using the new look: 

    1. Click Drafts

    2. Click Configure against the desired request

    3. Click either:

      1. Request Info (Old Look)

      2. Click on the   icon. Note: if the icon is not available, a new request will need to be created with the Section Required? option set to Yes.

      3. Request Dashboard (New Look)

      4. Click Questionnaire

  4. Click Section/Category List Actions menu

  5. Click Add Section/Category

  6. Enter Section/Category Title

  7. Select Section/Category Visibility (ADCOM extension - see note below)

    1. Display to Respondents (Providers/Respondents to the request will see this Section/Category always) or

    2. Display to Respondents (depending on previous response) (The Request’s Providers/Respondents will see this Section/Category only based on a question response earlier in the request) If this option is selected, Click on More Options to choose your trigger question.

    3. Display to Evaluators only (The Section/Category will only be displayed to Evaluators and never to the Providers/Respondents)

  8. Select Scores apply to:

    1. Evaluation Criteria

    2. Evaluation Criteria for a Single Category (ADCOM extension - see note below)

    3. Neither (no criteria will be scored in this section) (Relative weight is not applicable if this option is chosen)

  9. Specify the Relative Weight

  10. Click Save & Add

Please note:

  • There must be at least one section with a weight above 0 (and it must have at least one question with a weight above 0)

  • The ADCOM extension allows the creation of Single-Submission Hierarchical Requests (which allow a section to be evaluated separately from others - which is ideal for optional components)
