Additional Tips
- If users want to allow others to view their technologies and projects, simply go to: Options > Projects > My Projects, and make the selected projects public. Public projects can be viewed by other Enterprise users.
- In addition to being viewed, public projects can be requested for evaluation by other users. To grant permission, simply go to Options > Permissions, and grant the requested access to users.
- To allow or block the viewing of projects in the technology showcase, simply go to: Options > Projects > Technology Showcase, and make the selected projects public or block them.
EVALUATING
Creating a new Critical Technology
- When clicking on "Evaluation", you have the option to select a Critical Technology for evaluation, or create a new one.
- To create a new Critical Technology, complete the relevant fields with as much information as possible.
- If the Critical Technology belongs to a Project, you must have the physical or functional architecture of the Project to facilitate the evaluation.
- When choosing an existing project for the Critical Technology to be registered, you must request access permission from the project owner and wait for approval.
- Alternatively, you can create a new project. In this case you will be the project owner, and can grant access to it in the Projects tab or if requested.
- Finish by clicking on "Register".
Evaluating the Critical Technology
- Choose a Critical Technology in the dropdown for evaluation. You can only evaluate and delete Critical Technologies that were created by you, but you can analyze Critical Technology from other users of projects that you have permission for.
- Use the specific buttons to evaluate the criteria: Criticality, TRL or Scope, of the selected Critical Technology.
- When completing an evaluation, the same page will show a summary of the results, indicating that the evaluation has been completed.
- You can perform more than one evaluation on the same criterion, to record the evolution of R&D, but only the last evaluation will be counted for analysis.
Additional Tips
- The tips (TIP) and help icons clarify doubts about the fields.
- Required fields are marked with *.
- If in doubt, use the question mark icons for additional help.
ANALYZING
Choosing the analysis method
- In the "Analysis" dropdown, choose a type of analysis (TRL, Criticality and Scope) corresponding to the evaluation types.
- Each type of analysis has two categories (Critical Technology AND Project). The "Critical Technology" category corresponds to the individual analysis of all evaluated Critical Technologies. The "Project" category corresponds to the analysis of projects associated with their evaluated Critical Technologies.
- The INTEGRATED analysis is only visible for a given Critical Technology and its corresponding Project if all evaluations have been made for it.
- Only users with Enterprise plan can perform analysis of public projects and critical technologies.
Analyzing
- For each type of analysis, graphs and a table with evaluation results are displayed. To retrieve all evaluation information, calculated results and report, download the excel and word files available in the buttons next to the text "Evaluation Results"
- For a better graph viewing experience, hide or show the legend, use the control panel options and use the interactive table handlers to search or sort Critical Technologies and Projects.
Additional Tips
- Some texts have tips that are displayed when hovering over them.
- The graphs are interactive. Manipulate legend and menu elements for a better experience, such as filtering by projects, etc.
