Evaluation Criteria

Evaluation criteria can be imported from a remote source RALS™ SYSTEM into the destination RALS™ SYSTEM.

Select Source

When importing evaluation criteria, the following fields allow the destination RALS™ SYSTEM to connect to the remote source RALS™ SYSTEM:

Select Data

After the destination RALS™ SYSTEM has connected to the remote source RALS™ SYSTEM, the evaluation criteria available for import will be displayed in a table. Only the user-defined evaluation criteria sets are displayed for selection, not the default criteria sets. You can filter, sort, select, and de-select evaluation criteria in this table. Selected evaluation criteria will be processed for import.

Select Mappings

For each institution in the source system that corresponds to a selected evaluation criteria, you need to select a mapping for the destination system. Newly added evaluation criteria are mapped to the selected institution, while updated evaluation criteria sets maintain the institution selected in the destination system.

Review Import

Prior to import, you can review evaluation criteria import information, including:

All selected evaluation criteria, including criteria that will be imported and criteria that will not be imported, will be displayed in the TSV file for your reference.

General Rules of Migration Import

During the import, the RALS™ SYSTEM will import the values from the remote source system into the destination system.

Uniqueness of evaluation criteria is determined by the evaluation criteria name (case insensitive) and device type. When there is no match between the source system and the destination system, it is considered a new evaluation criteria which will be added to the destination system. When existing evaluation criteria is edited in the destination system, the values will be updated from the source system. However, the institution in the destination system will remain the same.

It is recommended that you enable the relevant device types in the destination system before importing. A device type does not need to be enabled in the destination system in order for the import to occur. However, if the device type is not enabled, you will be unable to see the evaluation criteria until you enable the device type.

In specific scenarios, evaluation criteria will not be imported. The RALS™ SYSTEM does not support importing evaluation criteria for configurable device drivers. When there is a match on evaluation criteria name and device type between the source and destination, but a mismatch on institution, the evaluation criteria will not be imported. The RALS™ SYSTEM does not support importing evaluation criteria for configurable device drivers. If a selected evaluation criteria cannot be imported, then an error will be included in the debug log.
