The Eval Actions pane is only available to Program Directors and Staff. It is designed to support the conversion of evaluations from the old style to the new style.


The old style of evaluations was a single review per official. The new style tracks evaluations based on event year and by reviewer. This allows Head Appraisers to enter evaluations without seeing prior evaluations. Not all old style evaluations have been entered yet. The policy has been to enter the evaluations of officials as they become nominees.


An automated script was developed to convert old style evaluations to new style. This script has been run on all old evaluations in the system, but it is imperfect. Some old style evaluations need a bit of hand tweaking and then can be reconverted. This process also works for capturing old style evaluations that are not yet in the system.


This pane works as follows:

  1. the system knows about all officials from Global Finals 2011 onward
    You can find any appraiser by their last name. Type this in the Last Name field in the upper right. Wild cards are supported. Then click on the Find button.
  2. the pane will list all officials whose last name matches what you entered
    This table has 3 columns of icons 
    1. a pencil to edit the old evaluation
    2. a group of people to list the new evaluations
    3. a plus to add a new evaluation


How you use these controls depends on what you need to do. Here are a few thoughts:

  • to add an old style evaluation not yet in the system 
    • click on the old evaluation pencil
    • add the old evaluation in the text area
    • use test convert button to see if it needs some tweaking
    • use convert button to save both the old evaluation and the new style equivalents
  • edit new style evaluations that failed to convert properly
    • click on the old evaluation pencil
    • edit the old evaluation in the text area
    • use test convert button to see if your changes fix the problem
    • use convert button to save both the old evaluation and the new style equivalents 
  • add a current year individual evaluation
    • set the current event using My Account => Change Event to the appropriate event
    • click on add evaluation add
