When creating an assessment with a score (SUM) or calculation (BMI).

* This document assumes you have reviewed [creating-an-assessment.md](creating-an-assessment.md "mention"). * Best practice would be to do the scoring as you build the assessment, so identifying the questions that will have scores or calculations ahead of building the questions in assessment builder is recommended. * If your organization uses custom codes for assessments, we recommend adding them as you build the questions.

When a new assessment is created that will be using scores and/or calculations, ensure Scores are enabled in the New Assessment window.
