Understanding RYG rating in a quality checklist template

The red, yellow, green (RYG) ratings are used at the checklist, chapter, and question, ans sub question levels to indicate the status of the various criteria.

The quality manager assigns the quality checklist template to the responsible users. They answer the questions by the assigned due date. As per the set RYG rating rules and evaluation rules, the RYG rating is automatically assigned to the questions when it is answered. For example, based on the set rules, if the question is answered with a no, the RYG automatically shows red color indicator. Further, if there is a quality action associated with it, it becomes yellow. Similarly, if the answer is a yes, it becomes green.

Each checklist can have multiple questions. The RYG ratings of the questions are rolled over to the checklist to indicate the status of the checklist. For example, if a checklist has five questions, and all the four questions are answered with a yes (green) and one is answered as no (red), the RYG object of the checklist becomes red based on the default rules. Similarly, if all the four questions are green, and one has a quality action associated with it (yellow color), the RYG object of the checklist becomes yellow.

Only one RYG rating can be associated to each checklist and question. The RYG rating roll up cannot happen if there are no associated RYG rating rule. After associating an RYG object, you can delete the RYG object if necessary.
