Automatic Grading For Certain Questions

Rigoberto Ruiz

Would it be possible for blackbaud/academicworks to automatically grade information that was pulled in an import or information that they submitted on their application. For example when looking at GPA blackbaud would automatically score based on ranges from 0-4.0. A theoretical model I built in excel would be: =IFS(A2>=4,5,A2>3.5,4,A2>3,3,A2>2.5,2,A2=2,1,A2<>0,0,A6>=4,5,A6>3.5,4,A6>3,3,A6>2.5,2,A6=2,1,A6<>0,0,A4>=4,5,A4>3.5,4,A4>3,3,A4>2.5,2,A4=2,1,A4<>0,0,A2=0,0)

Whereas A2=Current College GPA (Import) A6=previous college GPA (provided by student) A4=highschool GPA. If this function existed we would be able to save about 12 seconds per reviewer per application as they would only have to look at the essays. Please let me know if this is possible or if any additional information is needed.

@Rigoberto, I fully support this. In fact, I submitted an enhancement request (AWARDS-I-486) regarding this recently, and I also found a similar enhancement request (SMM-I-100). You can vote to support both of these:

We've had reviewers ask for this feature as well!

I can't seem to locate your request when I search AWARDS-I-486. Is there a keyword in the title I can use to search instead?
