10.0 Working with the SQL Database

Vivinet Assessor saves assessment definitions (all your configuration choices from the Design view, the schedule you selected, and any Assessment Options), any results associated with assessments you have run, plus any error information, in a SQL database system. The SQL service is installed with the instance name VASSESSOR.

The name you assigned to an assessment when you saved it identifies each assessment within the SQL database system, but assessments are not also saved in separate files that you can readily access, e-mail to coworkers, or move to other locations. Each assessment is instead stored as a separate database within the system.

However, Vivinet Assessor offers several features that help you manipulate your data, use existing assessments as templates for future assessments, export scripts and assessments—with or without results—into files that can be e-mailed or otherwise transported, and delete individual assessments.
