Certification Assistant – Create New Assessment

Create Assessment

To create a new assessment:

1. On your Certification Assistant Dashboard, click the +Add Assessment button.

NOTES:

      • If (+) Assessment button is disabled, hover over the disabled button to display a message identifying your CA Owner Admin as the person to contact for a role change or access to an existing assessment.
      • If you do not have an associated Assessment License, a message displays prompting you to purchase or add a license key. Select the desired option.

2. If you have an encryption key, enter the passphrase.

IMPORTANT If you have an encryption key, your passphrase cannot be recovered. Because you generate this passphrase yourself, Exostar cannot access it or reset it on your behalf. If you lose it, you lose access to that specific assessment permanently and need to create a new one. Download a copy of your passphrase and store it somewhere safe. Select the key icon in the upper right corner to save your passphrase to a file.

Certification Assistant now builds your new assessment and redirects to the Account Dashboard. A Building Assessment status displays until the process finishes.

NOTE: If you have an encryption key, each time you open this assessment, you are prompted to enter your encryption key passphrase before you can access the assessment.
