In quantitative evaluations, the calculation is performed in accordance with pre-defined criteria, each one with a different weight. 

During the evaluation, the criterion weight is multiplied by the value of its options. These values will be calculated according to the equation set by the user. 

To do that, the system will display the Quantitative tab, in which the due configurations must be performed.

In qualitative evaluations, the priorities are evaluated based on significance search fields. These search fields are criteria that determine whether the object being evaluated is significant or not. 

To do that, the system will display the Qualitative tab, in which the due configurations must be performed.

This evaluation method covers both quantitative and qualitative criteria.

To do that, the system will display the Quantitative and Qualitative tabs, in which the due configurations must be performed.

In this evaluation method type, the system enables to associate criteria in the matrix axes.  

To do that, the system will display the Matrix tab, in which the due configurations must be performed.

Use the "Severity x Probability" matrix and the qualitative criteria in this evaluation type. Matrix criteria and qualitative criteria will be considered in this evaluation type. 

Thus, the Qualitative and Matrix tabs will be displayed, in which the due configurations must be performed.

In this type, for each axis, a criterion of the Matrix type with values from quantitative criteria must be selected. 

Thus, the X axis, Y axis, and Matrix tabs will be displayed, in which the due configurations must be performed.

No additional configuration is required for this type. 

When using an evaluation method of this type, the result field will list the options configured in the Result tab.

This type gathers all criteria necessary to apply BIA evaluations to the processes created in the system.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a management tool with the objective of analyzing the processes of a business, understanding the impact of the inactivity time, and establishing recovery objectives.

The system will display the Time and Impact type tabs, in which the due configurations must be performed.

This tab will be displayed if the selected type is Quantitative or Quantitative and qualitative.

It is divided into two sections:

Formula

Click on the button and, on the screen that will be opened, assemble the desired formula to calculate the value of the options selected in the criteria. 

On the formula editor data screen, by accessing the Function > Criterion operation option, it is possible to select the option that corresponds to the operation that will be performed with the values of each criterion:

• Add: The values of each criterion will be added up.
• Multiply: The values of each criterion will be multiplied.
• Highest: The result is defined by means of the highest value selected in the evaluation criteria for this method.

Check the Consider criteria weight in the evaluation option so that the weight of each criterion is considered when calculating the result.

Criterion

In this list of records, the criteria that will be available for selection during the evaluation must be defined.

This tab will be displayed if the selected type is Qualitative, Quantitative and qualitative, or Qualitative matrix.

In the Criterion list of records, the criteria that will be available for selection during the evaluation must be defined.

The layout of this tab varies according to the type selected in the General tab:

Matrix / Qualitative matrix

On the respective fields displayed in the upper part of this tab, the options for the X and Y axes criteria that will be used to build the evaluation matrix must be selected. 

Use the other buttons next to each field to add a new evaluation criterion, use it in the matrix, and clear the field.

After saving the record for the first time, the matrix will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. 

In it, the user can choose the result values. Remember that the result options must be duly added to the Result tab.

Quantitative matrix

After saving the record of the evaluation method again, a matrix will be displayed in this tab according to the previously performed configurations. 

In it, the user can choose the result values. Remember that the result options must be duly added to the Result tab.

These tabs will only be displayed if the selected type is Quantitative matrix. 

On this tab, fill out the following fields:

X axis / Y axis

Select the Matrix type criterion that will be used in the axis.

Use the other buttons next to each field to add a new evaluation criterion, use it in the matrix, and clear the field.

Operation

Click on the button displayed next to the Equation field and, on the screen that will be opened, assemble the desired formula to calculate the result of the criterion values. 

Criterion

In this list of records, the criteria that will be available for selection during the evaluation must be defined.

This tab will only be displayed if the selected type is Matrix (BIA).

On this tab, it is necessary to enter all types of time in which the impact may occur. Up to 8 times can be recorded.

This tab will only be displayed if the selected type is Matrix (BIA).

On this tab, it is necessary to enter all types of impact that may affect the company. Up to 8 impact types can be recorded.

This tab displays the result options that may be associated during the evaluation. 

On the side toolbar, the following buttons are available:

	Click on this button to add a result option to the evaluation method.
	Click on this button to edit the data of the result selected in the list of records.
	Click on this button to delete the result selected in the list of records.
	Click on this button to move the result selected in the list of records, up.
	Click on this button to move the result selected in the list of records, down.

For further details on the creation of results, refer to the videos in the Configuring a quantitative evaluation method and Configuring an evaluation method of the simple listing type articles.

Use this tab to associate the attributes that must be filled out during the evaluation.

For further details on attributes and their association, refer to the What is an attribute? article.

This tab is only displayed after releasing the first revision of the method. 

It displays the comparison between the result in the previous revision with the current revision.

This tab displays the records with which the evaluation method is associated. To do that, the system displays the components and the number of records of each component that use it. 

When clicking on a component, the types of records that use the evaluation method are listed, and after clicking on a type of record, a listing with the data of the records that have the method is displayed.
