- A Database suggested comments (classic profiles / QDA)

Database

No. 2 : A more agile database

- Creation of a test models section

- Categorization of questions, descriptors and suggested comments. With user-manageable classifications (nature & sub-nature), and applicable or not to these three elements.

This will allow users to specify, for example, for what type of product, for what purpose, in what context, and for what objective, these three elements (questions, descriptors, and suggested comments) can be defined and used. For example, if you want to associate some of these questions, descriptors, and suggested comments with a beer category (if you were a brewer), to find them more easily. Example 2: if you want to separate the same descriptor according to its evaluation phase (nose, palate).
