Adding Feedback Subtypes

Feedback subtypes are types of feedback classified within Feedback types. When you type feedback in the COM Representative or COM Investigator screen, you can classify the feedback using predefined Feedback types and Feedback subtypes.

  1. Click Ancillary > Feedback Subtypes.
    Feedback Subtypes tab
  2. Click the Add New button:Add New button
  3. From the Feedback Type drop-down list of the new row, choose the feedback type to which you wish to assign a subtype.
    Feedback subtypes are types of feedback classified within Feedback types.
  4. In the Feedback Subtype field, type an abbreviation for the new subtype.
  5. In the Description field, type a brief description of the new subtype.

  7. (For OPS users only) In the Performance Type Group field, choose the rule type applicable to the subtype if it is related to driver performance.
  8. In the ReportGroup drop-down list, choose a report group. For example, if you assigned feedback subtype AD08 (website problem) to the Admin report group, all information stored in the database for this subtype and all other subtypes assigned to Admin are generated together in a Roll Up report. If you have not defined reporting groups, see Report Groups for the procedure.
  9. In the Feedback Category field, choose the category that the subtype fits in:
    • Operator
    • Vehicle
    • Generic
    Choose Generic for feedback that is not operator or vehicle related.
  10. Optional: In the Template File field, select the path to the form letter template to be used for responding to this feedback subtype.
  11. To mark it as inactive, select the Inactive check box. Only the active Feedback Subtypes will appear in the Feedback Subtypes drop-down lists of the COM Representative, COM Investigator, Feedback Responsibilities, and Financial Penalty screens. In the Context dialog box of the COM Representative and COM Investigator screens, all Feedback Subtypes will appear in the Feedback Subtype drop-down list and can be selected.
