Launching assessments

Question

Can anyone show me a code example of calling the API to launch an assessment?

To call the API to launch an assessment, you can use the ConductAssessmentDelegate in a workflow. Here's an explanation of how you can set this up:

Workflow Setup:
- In your workflow designer, create a new process and add a start event.
- Define the necessary form properties for the assessment, such as template_id, name, asset_id, owner_id, assignees_users_ids, assignees_groups_ids, and is_visible_to_everyone.
Service Task:
- Add a service task to your workflow and configure it to use the ConductAssessmentDelegate class: com.collibra.assessments.api.v1.workflow.delegate.ConductAssessmentDelegate.
- This service task will initiate the assessment using the provided parameters.
Script Task:
- Add a script task to handle the results returned by the service task. You can access the result using a script like:
  def delegateResults = execution.getVariable("result")println "The Java Delegate service task returned the following results: " + delegateResults
End Event:
- Finally, add an end event to complete the workflow.

This setup will allow you to launch an assessment using the API within a workflow environment. Hope this helps!

Thanks you very much!
