Assessments
Use assessments to evaluate, score, and rank records from any table in the system.
You can assess projects that executives want to evaluate for effective management, or rate and compare a vendor's goods and services. Use assessments to send custom questionnaires to selected users or write scripts that query the database directly. You can then compare assessment results for the records using unique graphical views designed to highlight key performance information. Share an assessment between ServiceNow instances by using update sets, which is the recommended way to move assessment data from one instance to another.
The Assessments plugin is enabled by default.
You can only edit an assessment that has the same application scope as that of your current session.
- Using assessments
Before you create assessments, assign the assessment_admin role to the appropriate users in your organization and determine your objectives for the assessment. - Assessments reference
