Note: ACWA templates are designed to hide all rating and scoring information from HR users, removing the need for any special user training or access restrictions. In addition, the Do Not Archive is automatically checked, the questionnaire items will not be marked required and the ACWA Appointing Authority Tag will automatically be assigned in the Vacancy Settings page when using ACWA assessments.
