Settings of a question bank

As a publisher of a question bank, you can customise the settings of your question bank to your personal preferences. You can add labels, protection rules and tags for example. You can also view the Log and restore removed exercises and assignments. 

To edit or view the settings of a question bank, follow the steps below.

Question bank settings

General

The General tab will open by default. From here, you can rename your question bank. You can also remove your question bank. Keep in mind, if you accidentally remove a question bank, only an administrator can restore it. Removed question banks will be permanently deleted after 180 days.

Labels

In the Labels tab you can customise the labels that can be added to your exercises and assignments. To help keep your question bank organised, we recommend using labels. The labels Draft, Review needed, Revision needed and Accepted are added by default. These can be adjusted and in addition, it is possible to add your own labels. Question bank labels are sorted in alphabetical order. You can read more about labels here.

Assignment protection rules

In the Assignment protection rules tab, you can add protection rules to question bank labels. When an assignment is given a label with the protection rules turned on, contributors are no longer allowed to change exercises in this assignment as long as the label is active. You can read more about assignment protection rules here.

Exercise protection rules

In the Exercise protection rules tab, you can define exercise protection rules for labels to:

• Disable changing the exercise
• Disable changing the grading scheme
• Disable changing the objectives
• Disable adding exercises to assignments

You can read more about exercise protection rules here.

Tags

In the Tags tab, you can see all the tags you have created and how many exercises include these tags. You also have the option to edit and delete tags. You can read more about using tags in your question bank here. 

Log

The Log will show the date and time of adjustments to the question bank. For example, when a contributor was added or removed or a question bank assignment was created and/or removed. Please note, you will only see this version of the question bank log if the administrators of your school have disabled the beta feature logs. If this beta feature is enabled, you will see the question bank log in beta.

Removed exercises

In the Removed exercises tab, you can view the exercises that were removed and the date on which they were removed. If necessary, you can also restore an exercise by clicking Restore.

Removed assignments

In the Removed assignments tab, you can view question bank assignments that were removed and the date on which they were removed. If necessary, you can also restore a question bank assignment by clicking Restore.
