June 2020 - Introduce the Merge Manager Word Addin, the Dashboard, and Drag and Drop questions

This release includes functionality that has been made available by small releases over the last few months.

Merge Manager Word Add-In

We have introduced an MS Word Add-In that makes it much easier to create and change Merge strings in your feedback or cohort report templates. You make selections in the Merge Manager and it composes the merge string for you.

The Merge Manager is connected to your assessment, so all of the selection options are based on the structure of the assessment, and rather than selecting by, for example, Section Number, you select by the Section Name.   

You can also download and upload your report templates to Brilliant Assessments directly from Word. 

See the updated training video on Creating a Feedback Report.  

See a detailed guide to downloading, launching and using the Merge Manager Add-in

We have also recently added Sample Report Templates to give you the basis for a very graphical report.  We will be adding to these significantly these over the next month or two.  They can be downloaded as the basis for your report.

The Merge Manager is included in trials and subscriptions.

Dashboard

The dashboard appearing on the menu about a month ago. It gives you the ability to graphically view details of responses on the system.  It has comprehensive filtering capabilities, and it automatically restricts access for assessment managers accessing the system.  You can view
