Vendor Eval

Keep vendor evaluations in a comparable format. One entry per evaluation records quality, responsiveness, value, and the evidence behind those ratings.

Make it your own

On the web, sign in and choose New Dattle → Template. Web Dattles use Shared access; you can start with just yourself and invite people later. For a Private Dattle stored on your device, use the mobile app.

  1. Start from the template

    In New Dattle, choose Template and search for Vendor Eval, or browse Work. Open its preview, choose Use template, and review the name and fields before saving. The suggested name is Vendor Eval.

  2. Capture your first entry

    Enter the vendor name and category, then apply the same rating definitions to quality, responsiveness, and value. Use Notes for specific examples from the evaluation period.

  3. Review and keep it useful
