Answering Assessments in Bulk

Users can open multiple assessments from the same questionnaire in a bulk view. This feature saves time answering similar responses by allowing users to apply scores and other actions to many answers. 

Please Note: Bulk Assessments are specific to the user that created the assessment stack. Your colleagues will be unable to view or collaborate on your bulk assessments.

This article includes the following topics: 

• Navigating to Active Assessments

Creating Bulk Assessments

The Bulk Answering Screen

Once the Bulk Assessment Name and Description are added, you will be taken to the Bulk Answering Screen.

To answer many assessments at once, the Bulk Answering Screen lists each unique question and each response. You can click on the expand icon on the left-hand side of the page to see a table of contents. This table of contents will also show sub-questions. 

Question Card

When you select a question or subquestion, you will see a question card and a series of answer cards below. The question card includes the following:

1. Header information with the question number and count of answers that have been evaluated.
2. Quick actions include adding a comment or changing the assignee across many answers.
3. Question Text
4. Answer Tips
5. Reference files
6. Quick filters

The quick filters can be clicked to hide or show answers that are not answered, answered, or submitted.

Answer Card

Below the question card, you will see cards for each answer. The answer card supports several actions. From left to right, the quick actions icons include:

1. Attach: Opens a window to attach files to this answer. Files often provide evidence or context for the response.
2. Comment: Opens a window to add a comment to accompany the answer. 
3. Assign: Opens a window to assign the answer to another user.
4. Navigate to Details Page: Opens the question in the single assessment view in a new tab.
5. History: View the answer history as you modify this response.
6. Collapse: Collapses the answer card.

The answer card supports the ability to apply an answer to all responses. This lets users quickly apply common answers to save time.

Please Note: The bulk view supports many of the features of assessments but not all. Features that are not supported today include viewing and responding to clarifications and submitting answered assessments. To access these features, select the Navigate to Details Page action to open the single assessment view.

Viewing Created Bulk Assessments

If you exit the Bulk Answering Screen, you can return to the Bulk Assessment at another time to continue answering.
