How to add a new evaluation

Evaluations are assessments for employees. Evaluations can be used in learning paths to assess an employee's level of knowledge at certain stages throughout the learning path. A learning path can contain one evaluation or a combination of evaluations. Evaluations themselves are created by compiling a list of questions.

Employees see the evaluations that have been set for them in their My Learning Path page, My Assignments page and their My Assessments and Evaluations page.
