Enable an Assessment Table on a Form

Previous assessment data is displayed in an assessment table on a standard form. The assessment table's data is pulled from the five most recently modified instances of the object currently displayed on the form, helping users better understand how data has changed over time and across different assessments. 

This table is enabled in the standard form's settings for a plain text, numeric, select list, formula, or date and time field element. To define what data displays in the form, administrators select data from the object type and assessments (properties, fields, dimensions, raw data [the numeric data of a select list] and trending data).

Users can click on data in this table to display the instance form in a palette, using either its default form, or one selected in the object type's workflow permissions. If a user doesn't have permission to view the instances, they will not appear in the table.

For example, with the assessment table enabled on a Risk object type form, opening that form for Risk 3 (e.g., R-3) will display the name and business units from the assessments that created the instances. Clicking data in a cell will open the related instance in a palette (e.g., R-3.1, R-18), allowing you to review how that risk is being assessed across the organization.An example of the assessment table displaying an instance in a palette.
