Use the Smart Assessment Engine to perform smart assessments on regulatory alerts. This ability enhances regulatory decision-making by enabling impact assessments directly at the regulatory alert level. It also streamlines
processes through a unified core assessment framework, and assignsanalysis to multiple stakeholders for improved collaboration and efficiency.

When you initiate an assessment on a regulatory alert, two options are available: a regulatory assessment or the classic risk assessment. Regulatory assessment uses the Smart Assessment Engine application. After it starts, a Regulatory assessments related list appears on the regulatory alert, displaying all uniquely generated regulatory assessments.
Assessors can access assessments from the unified Tasks page on the Employee Center, which provides a consolidated view of all tasks. To perform a regulatory assessment, see [Respond to a regulatory assessment](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/E4TdSHz8~ChDlQOQKbUobA "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/UTj7b8zYI3NFniIo8rfKyw "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/gHaQcLUr2rY_TfHR5hlqMg "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/bUxscQAqaQJWWq5bqQR6Zg "Evaluate the risk of a regulatory alert by initiating either a risk assessment or a regulatory assessment.").
