I don't know why this didn't occur to me when we were having our meeting
last week.
The assements -- the six sliders you get when you save a candidate from
within tiles, including Sub Quality, Host, Position, Shape, Motion, and
Overall -- do have a very important purpose. The *secondary* purpose is
communicating your view of these various qualities of the candidate to
others by saving your assessments into the database.
The *primary* purpose is as a sort of checklist to make sure that you've
thought about some of the key things you need to think about with
candidates. Yes, for *this* search, "Motion" isn't meaningful, but the
others are things that you should think about with each candidate.
I will update the "How To Scan" page with descriptions of these various
things.
I may also implement a window at the beginning of searchscan that asks a
random quiz question about the "How To Scan" page, to prevent people
from scanning if they haven't read and thought about the
instructions.....
