Panorays allows you to send multiple questionnaires to a single supplier. This enables you to create different questionnaire templates for different use cases—and share the most relevant one based on your relationship and assessment needs for each vendor.
⚖️ Questionnaire Weights & Calculations
Each questionnaire template can be assigned a weight according to your internal risk methodology.
Key rules to know:
✅ The combined weight of all questionnaires must always equal 100%
✅ Each questionnaire contributes to the overall score based on its assigned weight
ℹ️ Informational Questionnaires (0% Weight)
Panorays supports sending informational questionnaires with a weight of 0%.
These are useful when:
You want to collect additional data from a supplier
The information should not impact the overall risk rating
⚠️ Important note
If a 0% template is the only questionnaire sent to a supplier, we recommend assigning it a 1% weight instead of 0%.
Why?
If a single questionnaire has a weight of 0%, the overall questionnaire score will always be 0.
Example:
0% (weight) × 100% (score) = 0 (overall questionnaire score)
📊 How the Overall Questionnaire Score Is Calculated
The Overall Questionnaire Score shown on a supplier’s page is a weighted average of all submitted questionnaires.
Included:
✅ Submitted questionnaires
Excluded:
⛔ In-progress questionnaires
⛔ Expired questionnaires
Calculation logic:
Each questionnaire’s weight (%) is multiplied by its score (out of 100).
The results are then added together and divided by the combined weight (when applicable).
✏️ Can Template Weights Be Changed?
Yes! Template weights can be changed at any time—even after a questionnaire has been sent and scored.
🔄 When you update a template’s weight:
The Overall Questionnaire Score will be recalculated automatically
🗄️ How to Archive Questionnaire Templates
If a template is no longer needed, you can archive it. Archived templates can be reactivated at any time.
A template can be archived only if:
✅ Its weight is 0%
✅ It has not been sent to any suppliers
If these conditions aren’t met, you’ll see one of the following messages:
“This template can’t be archived because it has a weight greater than 0.”
“This template can’t be archived as it was used in one or more questionnaires that were sent to your suppliers.”
🔐 Permission note
Only Admin users can manage, edit, or archive templates.
This is done via the Questionnaire Templates Library.
