# Global Assessments

Global Assessments are the rules Bsure continuously evaluates against your tenant. Every assessment always runs and always appears on the Assessments page, what you configure here decides when it's flagged for attention and whether it also sends a notification.

***

### How Global Assessments work

Every assessment shown here is active, there's no on/off switch. Bsure evaluates each one during the scheduled calculation process and compares the latest result against its **target**.

When the calculated value crosses the target, the assessment is flagged for attention on the [Assessments](/user-guides/assessments.md) page.

***

### Configure a Global Assessment

Go to:

**Settings → Configuration → Global Assessments**

Find the assessment you want to configure and open it.

In the configuration window, you can adjust:

| Setting                  | Description                                                                            |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Target                   | The level you're aiming for. Choose Count or % depending on the assessment.            |
| Include in notifications | Sends this assessment to Teams or email once notifications are set up. Off by default. |
| Notify above             | The value that triggers a notification.                                                |
| Stop notifications at    | The value below which notifications stop firing.                                       |

You can either enter the target manually or adjust it visually by dragging the dashed target line in the graph.

Click **Apply Changes** to save.

***

### Notification

Notifications are separate from the Assessments page itself, turning them off doesn't hide anything, it only stops the Teams or email alert.

Turn **Include in notifications** on for the assessments you want pushed to Teams or email, then use **Notify above** and **Stop notifications at** to control when those alerts start and quiet down again.

***

### Impact, effort, and your target

Every assessment carries a sense of what's at stake, the security, compliance, and cost impact of leaving it unaddressed, and how much effort it typically takes to fix. Bsure uses this, together with the priorities you set on the [Priorities](/user-guides/priorities.md) page, to decide where a finding lands on your [Assessments](/user-guides/assessments.md) worklist and how it's flagged (Act now, Act soon, or Plan ahead).

Each assessment also has a **target**, the level you're aiming to reach. You can adjust an assessment's target directly from its drilldown on the Assessments page, or from here in Global Assessments.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bsure.io/user-guides/settings/configuration/global-assessments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
