Customizing the High Level Assessment

The High level assessment is part of the Share an Idea form that lets you assess information about the task or process proposed for automation. System Admin and other roles that have the “Customize Assessments” permission assigned can modify the High level assessment to better match the target audience and obtain a relevant idea score for their organization that will allow making informed decisions.

Go to Platform Setup in Admin Console and select the Customize assessments option, which, for the High level assessment, allows you to:

• Customize - start the customization process of the High level assessment;

Question Settings

The settings available for each question are detailed as follows:

Setting name	Description

Show question	Toggle : ON → the question will be displayed in the Share an Idea form. OFF → the question will be hidden from the Share an Idea form.
Show comments section	Toggle : ON → users will be able to add a comment when answering the question. OFF → there will be no comments field displayed below the question in the Share an Idea form.
Impacts idea score	Toggle : ON → the answer score from this question will be considered in the algorithm that computes the idea score. The weight of the question can be edited by clicking on the Question weight pencil icon. OFF → question will not be considered in the algorithm that computes the idea score.

Question Weight Editor

The Idea Score indicator is computed as a weighted average between the questions that have the "Impacts idea score" setting ON. You can modify the weight of each question that will be taken into account in the algorithm that computes the idea score. Below you can see how to customize the weight distribution of each question from the High level assessment.

The Split evenly option allows you to decide if equal weights should be applied for all the questions or define a specific weight for every question. Keep in mind that all weights need to add up to 100.

Show only weighted questions option lets you see only the questions that impact the idea score. When toggled OFF, all the questions are shown, but only those that impact the idea score can have the points modified.

Note: If the sum of all weights is higher or lower than 100 a warning message is displayed informing you how many points you need to add or remove in order to obtain 100.

Modifying Existing Questions of UiPath Default Assessment;

Default questions from the UiPath assessment can also be customized as follows:

• First four questions can be made optional or hidden from the Share an Idea form. The comments section can be hidden and the impact idea score setting turned off. Also, the question type can be modified as needed.

• The question referring to existing documentation related to the task/process helps in building a stronger case for your automation idea. You are allowed to modify its settings, the question weight, add new answer options, but you cannot do the following:

  • Modify the answer scores;
  • Modify the default answers;
  • Delete the default answer options;

  • Delete the entire question.

Note: If a new answer option is added, when a business user attaches a file next to that new answer option while sharing an idea, the uploaded document will be saved in the Documentation page as a Miscellaneous (Misc.) file type.

• At the end of the default questions the Assign Process Owner section is available, where you have the option to decide whether the Process Owner question should be displayed or not in the form. The purpose of this question is to select a user who will be invited to fill in a more detailed assessment for the automation idea. The question has the Required and Show question settings available.

  When everything is set up, you can click the Save and publish button in the right bottom corner of the page, to publish the assessment. A pop-up message will inform you about the consequences of publishing a changed assessment will be displayed requesting you to Publish or cancel.

  
  

  

  
  
  Note: After publishing the customized version, the business users will see the updated High level assessment in Share an Idea form.

Save as a draft option allows you to save the customized form and close the edit mode. You will be able to continue customizing the form at a later time.

If a user has an employee-driven idea draft and the high-level assessment questionnaire gets updated, a pop-up is displayed informing that the Share an idea questionnaire has been updated by an administrator and the entire form should be reviewed.

Note:

• When entering the edit mode of an idea or resuming a draft, you will see the questions and their answers with the updated text.
• When resuming a draft, the disabled/deleted questions will no longer be displayed in the form.
• When resuming a draft, the new questions added in the customization page will be displayed in the form. The user needs to review the entire form and ensure that all mandatory questions have been answered to successfully submit the form.

Selecting Preview lets you see how the assessment form will look like with the changes made.

You can always click on Cancel button and discard any changes made, or Reset to default if you wish to cancel all customization changes done and return to the UiPath default High level assessment.

Note: Only the UiPath default form can be translated to another language available in Automation Hub. If a new question is added to the default assessment or at least one question is changed, then the Share an Idea form will no longer be translated.
