View the full Attribute Weights tutorial here.
With the FMDataLab Attribute Weighting functionality, you can update the weights of attributes for each of the 117 roles used in the role scores calculation.Perfect for when you want to adjust the importance of certain attributes when it comes to the role scores calculation.Whether it may be the case you want to put more importance or less importance on an attribute. This is the functionality for you.
You can go to the Attribute Weights page to update attribute weights for each role.Once on the Attribute Weights page you will be presented with a dropdown to search for all possible selectable roles from the Roles Selection page.
You can select a single role from the dropdown, selecting a role will update the view to show all attribute weights for the selected role.Attributes are divided between Technical, Mental, Physical & Computed attributes.Computed Attributes only contains Feet which is included in the file table. Details can of the Computed Feet attribute can be found here.Each attribute can be weighted between 0 & 100. The higher the number you assign to an attribute value, the greater the weight it will have in the role scores calculation.Once you are happy with your attribute weights for a given role, you can click on the Update Role Weights button and this will save your attribute weights to your browser.If you wish to reset a single role attribute weights back to the FMDataLab default attribute weights, when viewing a role attribute weights, you can click on the Reset Role Weights button and this resets that roles attributes back to the FMDataLab default attribute weights.If you wish to reset ALL roles attribute weights back to the FMDataLab default attribute weights, when on the base Attribute Weights page with the role selection dropdown, you can click on the Reset All Role Weights button and this resets ALL roles attributes back to the FMDataLab default attribute weights.You can also edit the attribute weights directly within the table view using the Edit Role Weights button. This will open a dialog with the role selection dropdown, similar to the Attribute Weights page. However, the only options within the role selection dropdown are those roles that have been selected from the Roles Selection page.
There are several places where FMDataLab will notify you of which roles and which attributes you have updated from the default weightings.You will spot most of these with the Tooltip trigger on attribute weight-related items.The first place you will spot where you have updated attribute weights is on the Update Attribute Weights form. You will find the Tooltip trigger on all attributes you have updated. The tooltip text will highlight your updated attribute weight for the role, as well as what the default attribute weight is for reference.
The next place you will spot where you have updated attribute weights is also on the Update Attribute Weights screen, but on the dropdown label. You will find the Tooltip trigger beside the Search Role: dropdown label. The tooltip text stipulates all the roles that you have updated the attribute weights for. You can click on any of the roles and that will open up the Update Attribute Weights form for that role if you wish to view, amend or reset the attribute weights for that role. On the table view when you click on the Edit Role Weights button, to open the Update Attribute Weights Dialog, the tooltip will only highlight the roles which you have selected from the Roles Selection page that have also had their attribute weights updated, not all roles that have had their attribute weights updated, like on the Attribute Weights page
Still on the Update Attribute Weights screen, but on the dropdown options. You will find a ⚠️ symbol next to any roles that have had their attribute weights updated.
The final place where you will find the Tooltip trigger is in the Table View. For any roles that have had any attribute weights updated, the adjacent column header for that role in the table will have the Tooltip trigger. The tooltip text stipulates all attributes that you have updated for that role.
