You can configure a series of Yes/No questions, followed by a Decision question, so that when an assessment is conducted, the responses to the Yes/No questions determine the value shown in the Decision question.
You can assign weighted values, or scores, to Yes/No questions in your template. Then, if the response to a question is "Yes", the specified score is added to a total score. If the response is "No", the specified score is not added to the total score.
If the total score reaches a specified scoring threshold:
- Your Decision question returns the value "Yes", as the final decision.
- When the assessment is submitted for review, the assessment details page includes a button by which you can launch the resulting assessment, as specified when configuring the Decision question.
For more information on question types, see The toolbox.
In this example, you design a template with the following:
- Yes/No questions and properties:
Question type
Title Score property
Yes/No Does the processing activity present a high level of risk for the rights and freedoms of the concerned data subjects?
2
Yes/No Does the processing activity make innovative use of new technological or organizational solutions?
1
Yes/No Does the processing activity match or combine data sets?

- Decision question and properties:
Question type
Title Score threshold property
Assessment template property
Decision

DPIA
Result
During an assessment, the scores are added for each question to which the response is "Yes". If the total is less than 2, the decision for the question "Is a DPIA required for this asset?", is "No". If the sum is equal or greater than 2, the decision is "Yes".
