    Navigate to Workspaces > Now Assist Readiness Evaluation and select the assessment icon to review your Now Assist assessment.

    Note:
    Before viewing your Now Assist assessments, you must first have run the scheduled jobs to get the assessment results. If you haven't run your scheduled jobs, you are prompted to do so on an individual job level. For more information on running scheduled jobs, see Run the GenAI/AgenticAI Assessment scheduled job and Configure the Now Assist Readiness Evaluation guided setup.

    The summary tab provides a consolidated summary of features, including Now Assist capabilities across AI Search, Virtual Agent (VA), IT Service Management (ITSM), Customer Service Management (CSM), and HR Service Delivery (HRSD), as well as their corresponding estimated remediation efforts. The results shown are estimates. You should evaluate results provided by Now Assist Readiness Evaluation for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case.

    To understand the estimated remediation effort, select the Legends button. The legend shows the estimated remediation effort using sizing verbiage and colors, along with an estimated timeline of remediation in development days. The legend also includes descriptions of the icons found next to the assessment questions.

    Legends button displays estimated remediation efforts such as None, Small, Medium, Large, XL, or XXL, and also includes icon descriptions.

    After reviewing the summary, select the individual assessment links to be redirected to that specific assessment in a new browser tab. The questions for each Now Assist assessment differs. For example, the questions and answers on the Now Assist for AI Search assessment are different than the questions and answers on the Now Assist for Virtual Agent assessment.

    Note:
    The assessments gather information from tables. To view any of the tables' available questions, answers, assessments, or assessment run successes or failures, search for the applicable table in the navigation filter:
    • Questions [sn_assess_question] table
    • Answers [sn_assess_answer] table
    • Assessment [sn_assess_assessment] table
    • Assessment Run [sn_assess_assessment_run] table

    For more information about how to search for tables in the navigation filter, see Navigate directly to a table.

    The assessments include visual indicators to guide you on non-blocker and blocker results. The following list details the descriptions of the assessment's visual indicators:

    • : Informational area and no further action needed.
    • : Further action is needed to resolve findings before implementation. These required areas include estimated remediation efforts.
    • : Recommended area warning, but the finding should be evaluated before implementation. These recommendations are observations that should be reviewed prior to implementation but no estimated remediation effort is provided.

    You can select Download Report to export the entire Now Assist assessment report in PDF format from the Summary tab. The exported report still includes hyperlinks to the specific individual assessments. Selecting Download Report on an individual assessment downloads only that report in PDF format. After selecting a hyperlink in the PDF, that record or table opens in a separate browser tab.

    Note:
    You don’t have to select Download Report to work directly with the problematic records or tables found in the assessment. Each assessment includes hyperlinks to the records or tables that need attention. Selecting a hyperlink opens the record or table in a separate browser tab.
