New PANELIST CREDITS TRACKING:
Panelist Credits Tracking is used in SIMS Sensory Quality Panel Software to Track Credits/Rewards for Panelist Test Activity. Credit Tracking has been designed to allow you to maintain a fully functional TRANSACTIONS-based series of Transactions. Panelist Rewards! This was a BIG enhancement to SIMS.
Easily assign panelist credit "value" when you start the test, your panelists will get automatically credited, optionally do the debit also or add credits to running balance.
Optionally enter any transactions you need.
Flexible Reporting for specific Tests, specific Panelists, or System-wide. SIMS Exports to Microsoft Excel.
Panelists detailed transactions reports. SIMS Exports to Microsoft Excel.
Functional Specifications:
--------------------------
1) A SIMS Test's Credit Value will be entered by Technician on the
on the SIMS TEST RESULTS, TEST Parameters Screen when the test is started.
2) Technician also may elect to 'DO DEBIT ALSO.' This means that two Automatic
Transactions will be generated by SIMS :
1) Test Credits to Panelist, and 2) offsetting Debit entry.
Use this option to give coupons/reward/etc.
IMMEDIATELY to Panelists (Time Saver for you).
3) Panelists have to START a test and answer at least one question to get credit.
4) Anonymous Panelists Credits will also be included,
into a single 'virtual' Panelist Code.
5) Panelists will be able to see their Panelist Credits BALANCE on the
Test Signin Screen. This is a system option (On/Off), since some client
sites do not want panelists to see this.
Anonymous Panelists will never be able to see a Balance.
6) All Panelist Credit Tracking system maintenance will be accessible from the
'Panelists Credit' tab on the Panelist Maintenance window. Only technicians
with SIMS Administrator privileges are allowed to create, delete
or edit Panelist Credit transactions.
7) Credit logic will be based on Transactions. The SIMS technician may create
new Transactions for any credits and debits. The credit transaction for
Starting a Test will be the ONLY automatic transaction created by SIMS ,
along with the optional 'DO DEBIT ALSO' entry discussed above.
All other transactions are the responsibility of the SIMS technician.
8) TEST Credit values can include decimals (fractions). Precision is ####.##
