# Create a third-party element

# Create a third-party element {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil

Create a third-party element directly in the Elements grid in the Third-party Risk Management application. Third-party elements are assessed as part of the due diligence workflow.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_vdr_risk_asmt.vendor_assessor or sn_vdr_risk_asmt.vendor_risk_manager

## About this task

You can create a third-party element directly in the Elements grid, either from the third party record or from an engagement's Elements tab. An element you create from the third-party record isn't
linked to any engagement by default. An element you create from an engagement's Elements tab is linked to that engagement automatically. For more information about monitoring third-party elements, see [Monitoring third-party elements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LiVqdtaHaqdxmaSA6U~ZJg "Monitor third-party elements using scalable scoring models, relationship analysis, and due diligence workflow integration in the Third-party Risk Management application to conduct more informed risk assessments as part of your third-party risk program.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to WorkspacesVendor Management Workspace.
2. Navigate to the third party or engagement where you want to create the element.
   * To create an element that isn't linked to an engagement, select the list icon ![]() and then navigate to Third partiesAll third parties, and select the third party you want.
   * To create an element that's linked to an engagement automatically, select the list icon ![]() and then navigate to Third partiesAll engagements, and select the engagement you want.

3. Navigate to the Elements tab.
4. Select New.
5. Fill in the fields for the new element.  
   For the complete list of fields on the third-party element record, see [Third-party element form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/0yvuq9guQIQCWIxIUcdHEw "Use the third-party element form to capture the information needed to create a third-party element record in the Third-party Risk Management application. As a third-party risk manager, third-party risk assessor, or due diligence request owner, you can create a third-party element record.").  
   Note:  
   The classification determines which scoring model is applied to the element. To create additional classifications, navigate to AllThird-party Risk ManagementThird-party ElementsClassifications.

   On an engagement's Elements tab, the grid also displays a non-editable Risk rating column showing the element's current risk rating for that
   engagement. Because this rating is calculated using the scoring rule and business service criticality of the engagement it's linked to, the same element can show a different risk rating on different engagements.

   Depending on the classification you select, more fields specific to that classification appear. For example, selecting AI model as the classification for an AI use case element enables you to
   link one or more AI models to that use case. For more information, see [Manage elements in the grid](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/d3OFDqtfNa~kRdcMEsPBgQ "Manage third-party elements in the Elements grid by adding, editing, and deleting records. You can also link AI models to AI use case elements in the Third-party Risk Management application.").
6. Select Save.

## What to do next

If you created the element from the third-party record, link it to an engagement before you assess it. For information about linking elements to engagements, see [Add a third-party element record to an engagement](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ufKAtzO8XzOuXiFz3RjZmg "Link a third-party element to an engagement by using the Third-party Risk Management application. After linking the element to an engagement, the third-party risk manager and internal stakeholders can assess it as part of the due diligence process.").

To manage elements, including linking AI models to AI use cases, see [Manage elements in the grid](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/d3OFDqtfNa~kRdcMEsPBgQ "Manage third-party elements in the Elements grid by adding, editing, and deleting records. You can also link AI models to AI use case elements in the Third-party Risk Management application.").

You can also create elements through the due diligence workflow. For information about element collection tasks, see [Complete an element collection task](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/MqeolPdbAkxJnB8Set6HsQ "Element collection tasks let internal users add AI use case elements and let third-party or engagement contacts add elements on behalf of the third party in the Third-party Risk Management application.") and [Create a task for an internal user](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ipeXaSVIb_Oq2EtGoqtt9A "Create an internal task to assign follow-up work to an internal user, rather than to a third-party contact, as part of your organization's third-party risk processes.").

After you link the elements to an engagement, you can start the due diligence process. For information about monitoring third-party elements, see [Monitoring third-party elements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LiVqdtaHaqdxmaSA6U~ZJg "Monitor third-party elements using scalable scoring models, relationship analysis, and due diligence workflow integration in the Third-party Risk Management application to conduct more informed risk assessments as part of your third-party risk program.").
