Learn how to use the Assessment Builder to create Assessments
Overview
The assessment builder allows 6clicks users to create and edit assessments.
Questions
To add a question click the Add question button.
The Add Question side panel now shows an empty question to be created. The first box is for the actual question you are asking, then the question type can be selected from these options. Underneath that the answer section is determined by the type of question, either a multiple-choice selection or a written response. Depending on the assessment type a weighted score or a risk rating can be assigned to the answers.
Note - There is also an Autofill option to automatically input certain responses ranging from yes/no, true/false, and countries.
By clicking on bulk answers, users can input text with a new line denoting new responses. This is useful for questions with a large array of answers.
Lastly, questions can be marked as Mandatory, a document upload as mandatory, attach a file that users can open after completing the assessment, and finally saved.
Note - Questions can be assigned specific logic to skip them in the assessment builder, to learn more about skip logic, head here.

Mapping Provisions from Authority documents or Controls from Control Sets
When an assessment is linked to an Authority or Control Set each question can be mapped to a specific provision or control.
In the above question editor, select Provisions and click the plus to bring up the associated provisions.
Any number of provisions can be added to the assessment.
They will now show the link in the Assessment Builder
Note - This does not affect how the responders will see the questions, this is for linking risk rating and other attributes to specific provision throughout the 6clicks platform.
You can also change the Control Set or Authority that will be linked to the assessment by returning to the Overview side panel menu.
Under the Linked Data accordion, click on the Authority dropdown.
From this dropdown, you can also toggle between Authorities and Control Sets.

This list panel allows all domains to be edited, added and removed.
Preview
Click the preview option under the More dropdown to bring up a preview of the assessment as the responders would see it.
