NEW Ratings given by managers to suppliers are now displayed in various relevant places in the tool
Various pages now show the average manager ratings given to suppliers per language pair and task over the past 3 months. If your managers do rate jobs upon completion then this is very useful. The pages showing the manager ratings are:
- Supplier groups pages ("Suppliers" > "Supplier groups")
- Price lists (select supplier and click "Prices")
- Find supplier services page ("Suppliers" > "Supplier services")
-Supplier selector popup (opens when you assign a supplier or group to a job)
The shown ratings are per supplier, language pair and task and for the past 3 months. As with other BA data, ratings of jobs are taken into account a few days after job completion.
