The self-assessment is long, and it is easy to lose your place. This article explains how to move around it, how your work is saved, and how to find what is still open.
How it is organised
Your self-assessment has three focus areas: Input, Process and Output.
Inside each focus area, there are chapters, holding requirements, each having one or multiple performance criteria that you answer with Yes or No.
Working in your own order
You can work in any order, and over as many sessions as you need.
You can move between focus areas freely and go back to anything you have already answered.
Requirements always stay in the same order, so you can find your place again.
Answer everything shown in a focus area before you consider it finished.
Saving your work
Save before you leave a page.
If you try to leave with answers that are not saved, a message will warn you. Do not ignore it. Unsaved answers are lost.
Saving does not submit anything. You can save as often as you like.
Saving a chapter saves all changes made during the session, not just that chapter.
You can change any answer as many times as you want, until you submit.
Finding what is still open
Each chapter shows how much is answered, for example, 12 of 19.
When you try to finish, the platform tells you what is still open. You get a list grouped by focus area, and you can select an item to jump straight to it.
If you cannot finish yet, something is still unanswered somewhere.
Downloading your answers while you work
You can download your current answers at any time as a spreadsheet.
This is useful for sharing the work inside your facility. Read "How do I read my self-assessment download?"
