Creating Rubrics, Categories, Standards, Scores

Available for: Admin, Owner

Rubrics with standards, categories, and scores may be applied to time-stamped comments. You can create your own rubrics or use one of our templates to start. To experience what other users see when they apply rubrics with categories, standards, and scores to their comments view our companion article here.

Tips:

• You cannot give a score to a video of a Standard Member.
• Team Members can receive a score from any member.
• Scores are only visible to the video owner and the scorer.
• Admins can view detailed statistics that can be downloaded for each video. Statistics include every comment, standard, and score applied to the selected video. Please see our article for directions.
