Creating Assessments for a Company
An assessment is a set of attributes used to assess the business potential or credit worthiness of a company.

End users complete the company assessment by selecting the appropriate values for the different attributes.

- Navigate to the Companies screen.
- From the Show drop-down list, select My Companies.
- In the Companies list, select the company for which the assessment is being performed.
- Click the Assessments view tab.
- In the Assessments list, add a record.
- In the Template Name field, click the select button.
- In the dialog box, select the appropriate template and then click OK.
Attribute records are automatically generated in the Assessment Attributes list.
- In the Assessment Attributes list, make a selection in the Value field for each attribute and then click OK.

NOTE: Administrators must create the assessment templates. See Siebel Applications Administration Guide for more information on how to create assessment templates.
Viewing the Results of a Company Value Assessment
A company value assessment evaluates a company based on criteria defined by an end user's organization. The results of a company value assessment appear in the form of a Customer Value icon. This icon appears in the Company Summary and gives users an instant summary of the value of the company to the financial institution. Each star represents a quartile value. For example, one star means 1% to 25% and two stars mean 25% to 50%. This four-star system allows the user to determine the value of a company without having to perform complex research and analysis.
