Enable smart assessments

task brazil Updated Oct 5, 2026 1 min read enable-smart-assessments-ppw.md

Enable the sn_align_ws.enable_smart_assessments property so demands use smart assessments instead of the classic assessment workflow, when they are moved to screening.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

About this task

Requires the Smart Assessment (sn_smart_asmt), Smart Assessment - Connected (sn_smart_asmt_conn), Smart Assessment Designer (sn_smart_asmt_desg), and Smart Scoring (sn_smart_scoring) plugins to be active. Portfolio Planning automatically installs these as dependencies.

Tip: Check System Applications > All Available Applications if smart assessments aren't triggered after enabling the property and verify that all required plugins are active.

Procedure

Navigate to All and enter sys_properties.list in the filter box.
Filter the Name column to locate and open the sn_align_ws.enable_smart_assessments property.
Enter true in the Value field.
Select Update.

Result

Demands route through smart assessments. No separate role assignment is needed for demand managers to read assessments. The sn_smart_asmt.assessment_reader and sn_smart_asmt.template_reader roles are inherited in the demand_manager role. Stakeholders still need the sn_smart_asmt.actor role to fill the assessments. For more information about user roles, see Smart assessment users.
