Note: Some shared assessments actions are only be available to the assessment owner.
Open. Open the assessment or procedure document.
Labels. Add labels to use for filtering the assessments. Examples: demo, 2020 Q1, Engr. Dept. Labels act like folders. Tag several assessments with a label and then use the filter to see just those assessments.
Rename. Changes the name of the assessment.
Collaborate. Shares an assessment with another user. There are three shared access modes:
Report. Produces an on-screen report of the assessment that can be interactively manipulated and exported as a PDF file. THe PDF will open in a new tab and then it can be downloaded and saved locally.
Record. Permanently secures a completed assessment as a permanent record. These "records" appear on the Records dashboard rather than the Assessment dashboard. All questions must be answered, all shares must be revoked, and all to-do items checked off to save the assessment as a permanent record.
Delete. Changes the status to "trash." Use the "trash" filter checkbox to see items in the trash.
Restore. Restores a deleted assessment to its previous status.
