Smart Assessment Engine: How to send combined control attestation per entity

[WasimM]

Hi, 

Hi,

We are trying to use SAE for control attestation but When we launch control attestations, the Smart Assessment Engine generates one assessment task per control. 

In our scenario, a single control owner has 20 applications (entities), and each application has 30 applicable controls. Means 600 individual assessment tasks. This is not practical.

We want to combine controls per application so that the control owner receives one assessment per application (i.e., ~20 assessments total), with all applicable controls presented as questions/sections inside that single application-level assessment.

Can you support us how to achieve the combined assessment scenario instead of generating 100's of task?

Hello @WasimM ,

Requirement: I assume you want to have 20 separate assessments with 30 different possible questionnaire templates. 

Smart assessment allows one template per smart assessment instance record. So in that case you have to create 20 * 30 templates. That's how current system is designed. 

Workaround: Create one assessment template with 30 sections. Use the show/hide functionality and based on the applicable control hide 29 sections. So that you can use one template for 30 of the applicable controls. 

Solution: Create 30 separate section for each control. Additionally create a question, the function of the question is to identify which applicable control( If required use Automate response to perform server side scripting to identify the applicable control). Then use the Conditional Visibility to show / hide the sections. 

For more details on Automate Response and Conditional visibility, refer What are the automation or scripting options available in Smart Assessment Engine? 

Submit Combined Assessment :  A feature more focused on how we can copy a set of answer provided from one instance to another instance of the same template. It has nothing to do with combining multiple assessment templates / sections / questions. 

Feel free to reach me for more information and select helpful if my answer helps you. 

Thanks,
