2498808 - How to make the Obj-Comp matrix grid in PM form use adjusted calculated rating for plotting on the graph

Symptom

Let us take a scenario to explain this.

Rating scale is configured for Max value of 4.0

For example :

The calculated rating for objectives (x axis) is 1.5 out of 4.0

and the calculated rating for competency(y axis) is 2.5 out of 4.0.

Now in the system, based on the system behavior, the 1.5 rating is normalized to 0.67 based on the following formula:
(((rating - original min)/(original max - original min)) * (new max - new min)) + new min
=(rating - min)/(max-min) * (max - 0) + 0
Resulting in normalized X position is (1.5 - 1)/(4 - 1) * (4 - 0) = 0.67.

So the dot will show in the 1st grid in the x axis as shown in replication document.

But few customers, we wish to remove the normalization and instead add an adjusted scale rating such as:
1.5 to 2.4 = 2

and hence the dot should appear in the 2nd grid.

Environment

Perfornmance management

Reproducing the Issue

1. Configure OCOC summary section on performance form
2. Give ratings to objectives and competencies 
3. See the "dot" being in the "wrong" box of the matrix grid in the OCOC section

Cause

System design that the OCOC grid is not using adjusted ratings when, the following is configured in the section:


<num-decimal-places>0</num-decimal-places>



Resolution

Yes it is possible.

You will have to configure <num-decimal-places> as below:

<num-decimal-places>0</num-decimal-places>

The default value of <num-decimal-places> is "2", and so in our chosen scenario,the score is calculated to be "1.5", then it is plotted obeying the normalization rule.
If we choose <num-decimal-places> to value "0", and the score is calculated to be "2", then it does not obey normalization rule anymore and appears in the proper position.
