Course Contents
Signing Into The Portal (1:09)
This video provides a simple tour of the trial portal, helping you understand where things are located. You will see the two main work areas: Assessment Manager for responses and Administer for building, branding, and settings. We also point out the Assessments list and the Cyber Security Template that comes preloaded for your trial. It is the reference build for the course and a place to explore, edit, and learn.
Navigating the Cyber Security Template (1:45)
This video provides a high-level tour of the Assessment Builder, helping you understand how sections, subsections, and questions are arranged. The builder mirrors the respondent's view, making it easy to preview what people will see as you work. You will also see the core review controls for quick checks, including Settings, Show instructions, Show feedback, and Test response. The goal is to help you move around confidently and know where to look when refining content
Building Sections, Subsections & Questions with AI Suggest (3:46)
This video demonstrates a fast and practical way to structure content using AI Suggest. You will watch a new section take shape, generate a few concise subsections, and draft questions using chosen answer formats and reusable answer groups. It also covers when to refine AI output, how merge strings reference assessment data, and where a quick manual question fits when you need precise wording or custom scoring.
Creating Instructions (1:53)
This video shows simple ways to make questions easier to answer. You will add instructions, choose whether they appear before or after the question or as a tooltip, and include light media where helpful. It also introduces merge strings for personalising text, such as inserting the respondent’s Business Name, and how to preview the result in the Test response.
Adding Conditions (1:15)
This video covers the Conditions tab, explaining how to build simple rules with and/or logic to ensure only the right people see follow-up questions or content. The same approach works for questions, sections, and subsections. You will also see how to test the setup to confirm that the correct paths appear.
Building the Welcome/First Section (1:34)
This video shows how to set up a Welcome section. You will create name and email questions, linking them to the respondent record, as required for automated emails and report delivery.
Making your Assessment, Yours with Branding (1:46)
This video tours the Settings area that applies to the assessment you are editing. General handles completion rules and visibility. Design covers background, fonts, section banners, spacing, and response elements such as buttons, lines, and slider fill. Media is where you replace logos. Portal colours are located under Site Settings, and portal-wide graphics can be found in the Graphics menu.
Automated Scoring (2:05)
This video explains hierarchical scoring, the default method. Answers earn points, each question has a maximum, and averages roll up to produce subsection, section, and overall results. You will also see why consistent question maximums help keep weighting fair and how these scores feed into ratings.
Using Ratings to Drive Feedback
This video demonstrates how ratings are grouped into bands at both subsection and section levels. You will create or edit bands, set maximum scores, choose colours, and add rating text. Multiple versions of rating text can support different report types. It also covers answer-level Report Text, the default behaviour, and how to separate it using Report Text 2.
Introduction to AI Interpretations (0:18)
This short overview flags that AI Interpretation is available during the trial. If it is part of your plan, the next videos show simple setups and examples.
Building Feedback with AI Interpretations (2:30)
This video shows how to set up a dedicated space for AI work. You will add an Interpretations section at the end of the assessment, set it to Individual Report, and build a prompt that references an uploaded policy using a merge string. A sample response is used to test and review the output. A sample response is used to test and review the output, allowing you to iterate quickly.
Scoring with AI Interpretations (1:23)
In this video, we demonstrate how to incorporate a scoring step into an interpretation. You will reuse a merge string to supply context, ask for a 1 to 10 rating, set the Max score, and run a test. Only the number is included in reports and charts. The resolved prompt view helps you confirm what was sent before saving.
Introduction to Feedback (0:44)
This video introduces the two core feedback outputs in your trial. You will preview a live Results Page and download a PDF report to compare formats. It also explains how Merge Manager supplies scores, ratings, charts, and text to both, and how these basics lead into cohorts and 360s later on.
Editing the PDF Report (2:22)
This video demonstrates where to find the sample response in Responses and provides instructions on generating your own demo if it is missing. If you added new sections, you will complete those so the demo reflects your build. You will also preview the completion page, noting that it can link to a PDF report, display a message, or show a results page.
Adding an AI Interpretation to your Report (1:08)
This video shows how to add interpretation content to your report. You will insert a new page, select Answer Report Text in Merge Manager, and choose the interpretation question so the text flows in using your document styles. A quick test with a demo response confirms layout and formatting.
Managing Automated Emails
Learn how to open your assessment’s email settings. You will update the welcome, auto reminder, and completion emails, insert logos from the Media tab, and align the copy to your brand voice. Merge Fields help personalise messages with items like respondent name and your Tenant name. When you are satisfied, save and you are ready to invite.
