Frequently Asked Questions
1) Am I obliged to evaluate all the questions? No.
You can click on the last available icon: I don't know Opinion . So this question will be excluded from the calculation and it will no longer impact the supplier's score.
2) Can I receive all my reviews in a single email? No.
Each evaluation impacts the supplier's score within the platform, so it is necessary to separate the forms for this correlation to occur.
3) Can I evaluate more than one supplier? Yes.
In this case, the respondent will receive more than one review link . Therefore, you will have to enter each one of them, to have access to the multiple evaluation forms of the different suppliers that will be your responsibility.
4) Can I access Linkana to see the compilation of evaluations performed? Only if you have a Linkana account in your company's environment.
To perform an assessment, the respondent does not need a license to use the Linkana solution in their company. As the compilation of results is stored within the provider's profile, which is restricted to users who have access to the environment, respondents who do not have a license will not be able to access it.
