The custom cadence feature provides the flexibility needed to set up cadences that are different from the tool’s Default cadences and that reflect the account’s specific module tracking needs.
Here are some examples of cadence criteria:
- Module Type – manage separate cadences for Higg FEM completion, FEM Foundations completion, Higg FSLM completion, and Higg BRM completion.
- Verification – in the case that you require only a subset of your value chain partners to get their assessments verified and complete vFEM or vFSLM, you may want to create a new cadence for these accounts that is separate from the accounts that are only required to complete the self-assessment, without verification.
- Time – a set window of time in which a facility has to complete a specified module. You may have a need for multiple module onboarding dates and deadlines throughout the year. For example, create multiple Higg FSLM cadences with different end dates that reflect specific audit periods. Or set an early deadline for those value chain partners who’ve consistently completed FEM in previous years. You can also set separate dates for self-assessment and verification deadlines.
- Account Type – set up custom cadences based on different product categories or tiers. This would allow you to monitor module progress by group (i.e. Fabric mills, tier 1 suppliers, etc.)
- Location – customize cadences based on facility location (i.e. region or country).
How to create a custom cadence
- From the main adoption tool dashboard, click the Add Cadence button to begin designing your cadence.
-
Enter cadence information (1)
- Select the module type (and year if selecting FEM or BRM)
- Decide if you wish to duplicate an existing cadence or create a new one.
- Duplicating a cadence will automatically upload the same accounts list from the cadence you select.
- If you want to create a full new cadence, leave “Select Cadence” selected and click next.
-
Enter cadence information (2)
- Then create a cadence name, add any notes or a cadence description, and set start and completion dates. You can set individual completion dates for the self-assessment and verification if needed.
- Enable automated email communications* if you wish. Please note if you turn the communications off the facility will still receive one communication from the platform notifying them you are tracking their module. *If you want facilities that do not have an account yet to receive an automated email inviting them to create a Worldly account, you have to select this option. You can always enable the email communication at a later point in time by editing the cadence settings, however, records with no account will not receive an automated email. If you want the automated email to be sent out to records with no account, the list needs to be re-uploaded to the cadence. For default cadences, the automated email communication is by default enabled.
- Save the cadence.
Now you are ready to add accounts to the cadence.
