# Global Assessments

Global Assessments let you enable and configure global rules that continuously monitor selected areas in your environment.

Each assessment is based on a calculated value. When the value crosses the configured activation threshold, the assessment is highlighted as active on the Assessments page.

***

### How Global Assessments work

All global assessments are disabled by default.

When an assessment is enabled, Bsure evaluates it during the scheduled calculation process and compares the latest result with the configured thresholds.

Global Assessments use an **activation threshold** and a **deactivation threshold**. This creates a buffer between when an assessment becomes active and when it becomes inactive again.

<table><thead><tr><th width="180.18182373046875">Configuration status</th><th width="170.63629150390625">Assessment status</th><th>Threshold logic</th><th>Result on the Assessments page</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Disabled</td><td>Inactive</td><td>Thresholds are not evaluated.</td><td>The assessment is not visible.</td></tr><tr><td>Enabled</td><td>Inactive</td><td>The calculated value is below the activation threshold.</td><td>The assessment is available, but is not highlighted as active.</td></tr><tr><td>Enabled</td><td>Active</td><td>The calculated value reaches or exceeds the activation threshold.</td><td>The assessment is highlighted as active.</td></tr><tr><td>Enabled</td><td>Active</td><td>The calculated value is below the activation threshold, but still above the deactivation threshold.</td><td>The assessment remains highlighted as active.</td></tr><tr><td>Enabled</td><td>Inactive</td><td>The calculated value falls below the deactivation threshold.</td><td>The assessment is no longer highlighted as active.</td></tr></tbody></table>

An enabled assessment becomes **active** when the calculated value reaches or exceeds the **activation threshold**.

After an assessment has become active, it remains active until the value falls below the **deactivation threshold**. This prevents the assessment from switching status due to small changes between calculations.

### 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 the following settings:

| Setting                                       | Description                                                                                                                        |
| --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Enabled                                       | Turns the assessment on or off.                                                                                                    |
| Is Percentage (available on some assessments) | Defines whether the threshold values are interpreted as percentages instead of counts. Assessments page will then show percentage. |
| Activation Threshold                          | The value that must be reached before the assessment becomes active.                                                               |
| Deactivation Threshold                        | The value that must be reached before the assessment returns to inactive status.                                                   |

You can either enter threshold values manually or adjust them visually by dragging the dashed threshold lines in the graph.

Click **Apply Changes** to save the configuration.

### Activation and Deactivation Thresholds

Global Assessments use two thresholds to prevent the assessment status from changing back and forth due to small variations in the calculated value.

**Activation Threshold** defines when an enabled assessment should become active.

When the calculated value reaches or exceeds the activation threshold, the assessment is highlighted on the Assessments page.

**Deactivation Threshold** defines when an active assessment should return to inactive status.

The calculated value must fall below the deactivation threshold before the assessment is no longer highlighted.

This creates a buffer between activation and deactivation, making the status more stable over time.

### Notification

Notifications can be configured separately for channels such as Microsoft Teams or email.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.
