The Assessment Name will appear on the first page of your report and allow you to identify your assessment later. When naming your assessment, we recommend including descriptors that will indicate the point in time, content, and participant group for your assessment.
When setting up an assessment for a client, you need to pick the client’s product from the list below. Carefully selecting the client’s product ensures that their report contains the recommended resources most aligned with their subscription.
NOTE: Clients do not see this step when setting up their own assessment because the tool can pick up their product information automatically when they log into Gartner.com.
