Creating Assessment Sessions
*An assessment session is an assessment carried out over a determined time period. When an assessment session is published, a questionnaire is sent to targeted users.
Creating Assessment Sessions
To create an assessment session:
1. Open the properties of the campaign and select the Sessions page.
2. In the Assessment Sessions section, click New.
You may choose to launch the assessment session later, without specifying when.
3. To do this, in the session launch window, select “not now”
*This option enables you to complete the assessment session with data, for example with the session owner and the assessment dates. In the framework of an assessment campaign with template, the session template is specified by default. It cannot be modified. For more details on creation of assessment sessions without template (ad-hoc or advanced mode), see Creating Ad-Hoc Assessment Sessions or Creating Expert Assessment Sessions.
*You may choose to launch the assessment session now or to schedule it. See Creating and launching assessment sessions.
4. Click the Save button.
5. You can create other assessment sessions in the same way.
*The assessment sessions created will be used to plan the assessment campaign, that is to distribute between the different assessment sessions the objects to be assessed in their context. See Planning Assessment Campaigns.
