Starting Assessment Sessions
This step is not to be executed manually if you chose to start the session or schedule it immediately after creating it. For more details, see Variations in the Launch of Assessment Sessions.The effect of starting an assessment session is to send questionnaires to respondents.
Prerequisites to session launch
The creation wizard checks from different creation modes (from a template, ad-hoc or expert) that conditions are met to deploy nodes and generate questionnaires.
The definition of an assessment session done through an assessment template must contain at least:
• An assessed characteristic
• An assessment object deployment collection
• A respondent deployment collection
• A questionnaire template
• A question
• A parameter value in the creation wizard if a deployment collection requires a value.
Sending questionnaires to respondents
To send questionnaires to respondents:
1. In the Assessments Follow-Up navigation tree, expand the Assessment Design folder and select Assessments To Be Started.
The list if sessions of status "To Be Started" appears in the edit area.
2. Click the session that interests you, then click Assessment Session > Start.
The session activation page appears.
3. Click the Save button at top of the page.
The session effective start date is updated.
The assessment questionnaires are sent to respondents defined in the assessment session perimeter.
