title: PerformDocumentAssessment​
PerformDocumentAssessment
Business goal​
This action triggers the document assessment provider for documents on a dossier and its associated parties.
It is useful in automated workflows where documents need to be screened or classified after upload (e.g. on DOCUMENT_CREATED or DOSSIER_SUBMITTED events).
Behaviour​
- System-generated documents are always skipped. Only manually uploaded or externally provided documents are assessed.
- Re-assessment updates the system assessment only. If a document already has a manual assessment (a human override), that manual assessment is preserved. The action only writes to the system assessment fields.

PerformDocumentAssessmentV2​
The V2 action extends V1 with configurable re-assessment behaviour via the skipAlreadyAssessedDocuments setting.
By default (when skipAlreadyAssessedDocuments is not set or is true), V2 behaves the same as V1 — documents that already have an assessment are skipped.
Set skipAlreadyAssessedDocuments to false to enable re-assessment of all non-system-generated documents, including those that already have an assessment. This is useful when the assessment provider has been updated or reconfigured and existing assessments need to be refreshed. Re-assessment only updates the system assessment; any existing manual assessment is preserved.
Configuration​
- Add the action
PerformDocumentAssessmentV2. - Link this action to the event(s) on which documents should be assessed (e.g.
DOCUMENT_CREATED,DOSSIER_SUBMITTED). - Configure settings as needed (see below).
Extending assessment to associated parties​
By default the action only assesses documents on the dossier itself. Use associatedPartyTypes to also assess documents belonging to associated parties (e.g. the client party and their identity documents).
Supported values: CLIENT, PARTY_RELATION, OWNER, CLIENT_SIGNATORY, INSURED_PERSON, BENEFICIARY etc.​

Examples
PerformDocumentAssessment (V1)​
The V1 action always skips documents that already have an assessment. It does not support any JSON settings beyond the inherited associatedPartyTypes.
Configuration​
- Add the action
PerformDocumentAssessment. - Link this action to the event(s) on which documents should be assessed (e.g.
DOCUMENT_CREATED,DOSSIER_SUBMITTED). - Optionally configure
associatedPartyTypesto include associated party documents in the assessment.
Limitations​
- Documents that already have an assessment (system or manual) are always skipped — there is no way to trigger re-assessment with V1.
