Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Template Name:** Assign a unique, meaningful name to identify the questionnaire template. * **Third-party Risk Area:** Specify the relevant risk area for the questionnaire. This option is available only within the Vendor Management Workspace when creating internal or external templates. * **Purpose:** Define the classification or objective of the template by selecting from predefined TPRM purposes such as external 3rd-party questionnaires, 4th-party questionnaires, document requests, internal IRQs, or tiering questionnaires. * Using custom purposes outside the supported categories is not recommended, as it can cause failures during machine-to-machine (m2m) linkage processing. * Only published templates can be used to create assessments. * **Include Previous Responses:** Optionally pre-populate a new questionnaire with answers from a previously completed questionnaire based on the same template. * This feature helps streamline reassessments by carrying forward relevant data. * Only responses from the most recently completed questionnaire are used; attachments, durations, and signature-type answers are excluded. * The feature is configurable and can be overridden by users with the TPR assessor role when editing draft questionnaires. * Notifications are sent to third-party contacts indicating that responses were copied, including links to the original assessment and its update date. * The maximum age for reusing responses can be controlled via the system property `snvdrriskasmt.maxageforquestionnairereuse`. * This option is available only when creating templates in the Vendor Management Workspace. * **Instructions:** Provide guidance or helpful information to responders to facilitate accurate and complete questionnaire responses. ## Practical Considerations for ServiceNow Customers * Ensure you have the appropriate roles, such as `snvdrriskasmt.vendorassessmentreviewer`, to view TPRM questionnaire templates and `snvdrriskasmt.vendorassessor` to override response reuse settings during assessment editing. * When creating or migrating SAE templates, adhere strictly to supported purposes to avoid processing errors. * Use the form within the Vendor Management Workspace to leverage full functionality, including response reuse and third-party notifications. * Customize the maximum age for reusing prior responses according to your organizational risk management policies by configuring the related system property. Use the Create New TPRM questionnaire template form to capture all the information that you need to create a TPRM SAE questionnaire template using the Smart Assessment template designer. As a third-party risk admin, you can create a questionnaire template. {#create-sae-q-template-form__table_krg_p53_2yb__entry__2} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Template name | Unique meaningful name for the template. | | Third-party risk area | The third-party risk area that applies to this questionnaire template. Note: This option is only available when you create an internal or external questionnaire template using the Vendor Management Workspace. | | Purpose | Purpose for the new template. Note: Known as Template classifications in the Classic assessment engine, TPRM has a Purpose for each classic template classification. TPRM purpose options include: * TPRM external 3rd-party element questionnaire * TPRM external 4th-party questionnaire * TPRM external document request * TPRM external questionnaire * TPRM internal IRQ * TPRM internal tiering questionnaire {#create-sae-q-template-form__ul_chn_fwh_gfc} Note: Only use the available template purposes. Creating custom purposes (categories or classifications) will cause SAE assessments to fail during m2m linkage processing. When creating or migrating SAE questionnaire templates, make sure the Purpose field is set to one of the supported categories only. To view a TPRM TPRM questionnaire template you must have the TPR assessment reviewer role \[sn_vdr_risk_asmt.vendor_assessment_reviewer\]. For more information on creating assessment template purposes, see [Create an assessment template category](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/g5~UJpVWKj5qbY5jPq8YoQ "Create an assessment template category in the Smart Assessment Engine application so that you can organize and grant access to the assessment templates that are related."). Note: You can create an assessment only from a published assessment template. | | Include previous responses | Option to pre-populate the questionnaire with responses from a completed questionnaire (state is Complete). Important: If you have the TPR assessor \[sn_vdr_risk_asmt.vendor_assessor\] role, you can override the option that is specified in the questionnaire template while editing a questionnaire in the draft state. The entry in the Third-party portal notifies the third-party contact that responses were copied. The notification includes a link to the assessment that supplied the responses and its last updated date. * The responses are populated when the new questionnaire is submitted to the third-party contact. * The source questionnaire must be based on the same template as the current questionnaire. * The responses are populated from the most recently completed questionnaire. * Answers of the attachment, duration, and signature type aren't copied. * The setting can't be changed after the questionnaire is sent to the third party. {#create-sae-q-template-form__ul_xkq_2bk_yyb} To specify the maximum age for source questionnaires, configure the Maximum age for reusing responses `sn_vdr_risk_asmt.max_age_for_questionnaire_reuse` system property. See [Configure TPRM properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9lJM8SW1APiGqRwL7gM6Zg "Configure property settings for a variety of TPRM operations."). Note: This option is only available when you create a questionnaire template using the Vendor Management Workspace. | | Instructions | Information that a responder might find useful when responding to a questionnaire. | [Table 1.
