Assessment section delegation — assigning a questionnaire section to a collaborator and merging their draft

Last updated: July 12, 2026 by Steve

Assessment Delegations

Coordinators can hand a questionnaire section to a subject-matter expert who never needs access to the whole assessment. The assignee works in the section-delegation panel (breadcrumb: assessment # › Assignments › section name); the coordinator manages and reviews delegations from the assessment's Assignments tab — see Assessment Details.

Completing a Delegated Section

As the assignee:

  1. Read the Instructions and the section's questions.
  2. Fill in answers — free-text (optionally per-language), Yes/No, single/multi-choice, date, number, and attachment references.
  3. Log Hours against the delegation and attach reference Documents from that panel's tabs.
  4. Click Submit when done.

Autosave and When You Can Edit

Answers autosave as drafts — the last keystrokes are flushed even if the panel is closed quickly. Editing is allowed only while the work is with the assignee: In Progress or Changes Requested.

Approving or Requesting Changes

When the section is submitted, the coordinator either:

  • Approves — merging the answers into the assessment, or
  • Requests changes with a note that sends the section back to the assignee.

A returned-count and status chip track the round trips, and a Discussion thread is available on the delegation for back-and-forth.

Privacy by Design

Delegates work only within their assigned section and see no requestor PII.
