Ready for your Assessment Round to go live?

Ensure you've double checked the following:

1. Build the assessment form under `Plan > Form templates > Assessments`, and select `Preview` in the Form Builder to check it.
2. Turn on `Score this field` for each question that is scored, give every option a score, and check the form's total.
3. Check the `Conflict of interest help text` under `Settings > Profile and terms`. New assessment rounds start from it.
4. Decide on the `Workflow` step whether `Assessors declare any Conflict of Interest before assessing`, and whether the round uses the Decision to Assess workflow. Neither can change once the round is published.
5. Confirm every application is assigned: on the `Assessors` step, select `Assign` beside each person.
6. Review the emails assessors receive under `Communicate > Email templates`, in `Assessor emails`.
7. Check the `Summary`, then select `Publish Assessment Round`. Each assessor is told once it is published.


Labels that name `Assessment Round`, `Assessment`, `Assessor` and `Application` use your
organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
