Accessing an assessment in 6clicks (initial notification)

If you have been sent an assessment from 6clicks, you will receive an email with a link to access the assessment. This email will differ depending on the number of questions assigned to you. Click Respond to go to the assessment.

Once you click on the link, you will be prompted to change your password and create an account. If you are not part of the team sending the assessment, you will automatically join as a free user and have the ability to respond to the assessment.

Note: Branding can change depending on the team that sent you the assessment.

Accessing an assessment from My tasks

Upon answering an assessment, all responses are saved automatically so you don't have to worry about losing any progress.

To continue with an assessment, simply navigate to your Tasks page. To access the tasks module, select My tasks from the navigation menu.

  

Here you will find a list of all your tasks, including assessments that you have been invited to complete. Clicking on the name will reopen the assessment with the saved responses. You can also filter tasks by their type and select Assessment to locate the previous assessment:

Responding to the assessment

When you open the assessment to begin answering the questions, you will be presented with different types of questions to which you might respond by selecting an answer from a list of possible responses or by typing in your response to provide the requested information.

You can see who has been assigned to answer the selected question (1), where to view attachments (2), and what to click to attach supporting documentation to your response (3).  As described in the next section, you can also add comments to any question (4).

As you start adding your answers, you can navigate through the assigned questions by clicking on the Next and Previous buttons or by clicking on any of the filter buttons across the top of the questions.

QBAresponse1

 Adding comments (During In-Progress Assessments)

You can add comments on individual questions while responding to an assessment. This enables real-time collaboration between respondents, assessment owners, access members, and other respondents without waiting for the assessment to be submitted.

While completing an assessment that is in the In Progress state, respondents can add comments to any question and mention (@tag) specific users, including:

  • Other respondents
  • Assessment owners
  • Access members

Notifications

All mentioned users receive a notification informing them that they have been tagged in a comment.

Responding to Comments

  • Respondents can reply directly from their assessment response view (My Tasks).
  • Assessment owners and access members (who are not respondents) can reply through Preview Mode while the assessment remains in progress.
  • No assessment submission is required for conversations to take place.

Group Mentions

Users can mention 6click user groups, allowing notifications to be sent to all members of the selected group simultaneously.

Review Trail

Once the assessment is completed, a Review Trail tab becomes available, providing:

  • Complete comment history for each question
  • Visibility into all discussion threads
  • A full audit trail of collaboration that occurred during the assessment response process

  

 

 

Users with submit permission 

A user who is assigned to the entire assessment and granted submit permission can click Submit upon completing the assessment.

A user with submit permission who is collaborating with other users has the following abilities: 

  1. View all assessment questions. Other users will not be able to see all questions in the assessment.
  2. Respond only to questions assigned to them
  3. Submit the response

  • The system checks if all questions are answered. If not, then it shows a warning message before the response is submitted.

  • If there are any mandatory conditions not met, the user will be prompted to respond to them.

  • If all questions are answered, the assessment response will be submitted and marked as completed.

Users without submit permission 

If they are not granted submit permission, the user can only:

  1. View and answer the question(s) assigned to them
  2. Close the assessment once questions have been answered

Assessment filters

Assessment questions can be filtered by the following:

  1. Domain: Display questions that belong to one or more domains
  2. Tags: Display questions that have selected tags
