Definition

Specifies whether the appraisal is an individual or multisource appraisal. Different numbers of appraisals are created, depending on the appraisal type used:

  • If the appraisal is an individual appraisal, only one appraisal is created.
  • If the appraisal is a multisource appraisal, several appraisals are created and an overall appraisal is generated from these.

Use

The following types of appraisal are available:

Individual appraisal

Anonymous individual appraisal

Multisource appraisal
Several appraisers each appraise one or more objects. Each of these appraisers creates a separate appraisal. An overall appraisal is generated from these so-called subappraisals.
