An assessable record links a source record you want to evaluate, such as the company record for Amazon or the user record for a sales representative, to a metric type, such as vendors or employees.

You use assessments to evaluate the assessable record. The system generates assessable records from the source records that match the table and conditions set on the Assessment Metric Type form. You evaluate the assessable records with metric categories and metrics, which define traits and values to assess. For metric types with the On demand schedule type, you can generate on-demand assessments from the Assessable Record form. This method of assessment generation makes it easy to create and preview short questionnaires or to quickly obtain assessment results for specific assessable records.

You can set up an assessment description that includes information from multiple fields on an assessable record and is displayed on multiple lines. This provides the user who is taking the assessment with a more detailed and understandable description of the information being requested on the assessment questionnaire. Create a multi-line description using table titles, which can be defined to use one or more fields from the selected table.
