Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the assessment settings that are available to configure assessments. Each assessment that is run is configured in administration as an assessment definition. An assessment definition is the template on which an individual assessment is based. The following can be recorded for an assessment definition once it has been configured:

• The categories applicable to the assessment
• The factors that are assessed as part of the assessment
• The classifications for factors that are assessed
• The roles that clients can play in the assessment
• Additional classification configurations for individual factors
• Activity recommendations for factor classifications
• Associations between assessments and case types
