Use the Smart Assessment Engine to perform smart assessments on regulatory alerts. Impact assessments run directly at the regulatory alert level through a unified core assessment framework. Analysis can be assigned to
multiple stakeholders for improved collaboration.

When you initiate an assessment to evaluate the impact of a regulatory alert, you can choose to start a regulatory assessment or the classic risk assessment. Regulatory assessments use the Smart Assessment Engine application. After an assessment is initiated, a new related list called Regulatory assessments is available on the regulatory alert, displaying all uniquely
generated regulatory assessments. You can access the assessment from the unified Tasks page on the Employee Center, which provides a consolidated view of all tasks, including assessments. For more information, see [Respond to a regulatory assessment](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/WI9bYyrrdeOM8~IREgNOnw "Utilize the Smart Assessment Engine to respond to regulatory assessments from the Employee Center.").

To understand the benefits of using the Smart Assessment Engine, refer to [Exploring Smart Assessment Engine](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ijwCRJsDLOFn4EMzVXunIg "The ServiceNowSmart Assessment Engine (SAE) helps you reduce the manual burden and costs of your assessment processes through automation.").

To understand the process of creating assessment templates and questionnaires, refer to [Configuring Smart Assessment Engine](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/JTT2cNos~rpBYRfzccmnTg "You can activate or upgrade the Smart Assessment Engine application by downloading it from the ServiceNow Store and then configuring the settings in the initial setup checklist to meet your needs.").

To understand how to initiate assessments, see [Assess the impact of a regulatory alert](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/rAshkkVQDhxnQjh1amm5oA "Evaluate the risk of a regulatory alert by initiating either a risk assessment or a regulatory assessment.").
