- Assessment Description. The Description is only used in the Respondent Portal for incomplete and Completed assessments. If the Respondents Portal is not in use the
- Version. While you can name the version how you wish; we recommend it should be an incrementing number. When creating a response the system will default to the latest version (highest number). You can copy an assessment to make a new version. Once you are using the assessment live to gather responses, it is best practice to make a new version when making substantial changes in the assessment so that responses match the assessment. If you are making small changes (maybe just adding one question) you can update the same version.
- External ID. The External ID is used on a URL when there is an “Auto Create Response.” The system will automatically create a response when a user enters the system using a URL with this code. The Is Auto-Create Response indicator must also be on (detailed below). External ID's must not contain blanks or special characters other than - or _ (More details on linking to assessments from your website or email)
- Is Timed Assessment. Select this checkbox if you wish to set a time limit for the response to be completed. After the time has expired answers can not be saved. Tips
- The timer only appears if the respondent is answering the assessment, not if an Administrator or Assessment Manager is viewing the response.
- You can also set a timer at the section level, or both. If you only want to set times for the individual sections you don't need to set an assessment level timer as well.
- If a timed assessment is selected, the following fields appear:
-
-
- Time Limit - in hours minutes and seconds.
- Timer Restarts At Last Save - this indicates the behavior if a respondent reenters the response after it has been started. If this option is selected, the time "stops" while they are out of the assessment. It will restart from the time the last saved a section. This functionality is to allow for interruptions during assessment taking. If this Checkbox is not selected, time continues while the respondent is out of the assessment.
- Show Previous Button - Indicates whether a previous button should be shown, allowing the user to go backwards in the assessment.
- Assessment Expires Date - If the assessment is not avaiable after a certain date, enter that date here. Access will not be permitted.
- Previous Sections May be Reentered - specifies the behavior for previous sections. The options are:
-
- Always - a respondent can always enter previous sections, using the Section menu (if enabled), the Previous button (if enabled), or the browser back button.
- Never - a respondent can not enter previous sections. The Section menu will not show previous sections, the Previous button will not appear, and the browser back button will be disabled.
- In Same Session - the system will detect if a respondent leaves and renters an assessment, in which case sections answered in previous sessions will be disabled using the "Never" techniques above, but sections answered in the current session will be accessible.
