Validating Assessment Sessions
The effect of assessment session validation is to:
• freeze its parameters
• generate questionnaires, without however sending these to addressees.
*An assessment questionnaire is a list of questions relating to a particular object and addressed to persons questioned.
Validating sessions and generating questionnaires
To generate questionnaires:
1. In the Assessments Follow-Up navigation tree, expand the Assessment Design tab and select Assessments in Validation.
The list if sessions of status "To Be Validated" appears in the edit area.
2. Right-click in the session in question, then select Assessment Session (To Be Validated) > Validate.
All questionnaires are created with status "To Send". This operation can take several minutes.
You can now view questionnaires that have been generated.
Viewing Generated Questionnaires
To view generated questionnaires:
*In the properties page for the assessment session, Questionnaires tab, click Display Questionnaires.
*It is recommended that the assessment session be validated just before starting the session. If you validate too early, information concerning respondents could be not up-to-date.

Having regenerated the questionnaires and before starting the assessment session, you can:
• view the questionnaires: see Viewing Generated Questionnaires.
• modifying respondents
To regenerate the questionnaires after modifying respondents:
*Right-click the assessment session concerned and select Assessment Session (To Start) > Regenerate Questionnaires.
