# How to create/edit/delete an evaluation topic?

You've just added the Evaluation and Self-evaluation feature or you have new topics to evaluate? You're in the right place! 👇

Once you've accessed the evaluation topics configuration page, you will have the possibility to create evaluation topics.

## What is an evaluation topic?

An evaluation topic is a theme that you want to evaluate on a certain population of the platform. It is composed by only a title but will be associated to some objects with a parental relation. These objects can be :

* either one or several other topics.
* either one or several evaluation criteria.

It will also contain one score by person after the first time it has been evaluated. This score is calculated as follows :

* The average of the sub-topics scores associated.
* The average of the criteria associated.

## How to add a new evaluation topic?

1) If you want to **create a new topic**:

* Click on the up right button "**Add an evaluation topic**".
* Add the new topic's name.

🧐 Try to choose clear but concise names: this will allow a better final visualization of the results.  
​

2) If you have already some existing topics and you want to **create a new sub-topic** ( a topic that is included in another one), you have two possibilities:

* Click on that same button "Add an evaluation topic", but this time add a "**parent topic**".

Or:

* In the list of the parent topics, hover your mouse over the one you are interested in. Clic on the "**+**" that appears at its right to add a sub-topic and enter the topic name.

🧐 A topic that already has evaluation criteria cannot have associated any child topic.

## How to edit an evaluation topic?

* Next to the topic name, click on the **edit icon** (a pen).
* You have the possibility to edit the topic's name and its parent topic. This allows to edit the location of the topic and its children (sub-topic and criteria) within the hierarchy.

## How to delete an evaluation topic?

* Next to the topic name, click on the **delete icon** (a trash).

🧐 You can't delete a topic that contains sub-topics.

⚠️ The deleting of a topic involves the deleting of all its associated criteria.

Congratulation, you have created your first evaluation topic!

You can now create evaluation criteria that will be linked to your topic.

**See you soon on Incenteev 😉**
