## Vorbereitungen

Role required: assessment_admin or admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

When you create metrics, consider the focus of the category and what characteristics you want to measure for the items you will assess.{#t_CreateAMetric__ph_create-metric-tip}

## Prozedur

2. Click New.
3. On the Assessment Metric form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the field values, see [Assessment Metric form for a category](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ipkAYt~kgPePCE~KDAWcpw "Description of the field values for the Assessment Metric form. Use the fields when you create an assessment metric for a category.").
4. Save the record.  
   When you create a Choice or Likert Scale question, reopen the Assessment Metric form after you submit it to create a metric definition. If you distribute a questionnaire without creating the answers for questions with these data types, recipients are unable to answer the quesitons. If the questions are mandatory, the recipients are unable to submit their questionnaires.
* **[Create an assessment metric definition](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/hBuM3xvdAIKtHcV1n4ACXg)**   
  Metrics with Choice or Likert Scale data types must have metric definitions defined to represent answer options on questionnaires.
* **[Change the order of an answer](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/iNXgVT3U20XtXLLtEsmOnw)**   
  By default, the order of answer options is established when a question is created with a data type of Choice or Likert Scale.
* **[Metric types and assessable records](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ao22e3hbMaa2CGa5s3CrsQ)**   
  In the Assessments application, assessment administrators create and administer metric types and assessable records.
