# How to create an assessment

Creating an assessment is easy and can be done from the [Manage assessments](https://help.cybersystem.io/en/article/app.cybersystem.io/assess/manage) page. Within CyberSystem, all assessments are created from templates either already within the system, or created by your organisation.  

On this page there are two buttons, shown below, that will open the Create a new assessment window.

This window will allow you to enter in a *Name* and a *Description* for the assessment, both of which can be updated at a later date if required. 

It then asks **how** you would like to create the assessment, either from an existing assessment which will copy across all of the assessment's questions and answers, or create one from an existing template.

Once you click "Create assessment" you will be taken directly to your newly created assessment and can start filling in answers to your questions.
