DATTLE / Work
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.
After signing in, search for Vendor Eval under New Dattle → Template. You can leave the invite list empty while you get started.
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.
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.
Review and keep it useful
Compare vendors alongside the notes rather than ratings alone. Check the generated Assessment and Recommendation against the evidence you entered.

Choose whether to use AI
This template includes AI enrichment for the fields below. To start without AI, open Edit Fields during setup and turn off AI enrichment for these fields before creating your Dattle. For each one, replace Output Columns with the field’s own name so your entry appears under one clear heading. You can still enter and keep your own notes.
