Settings of a question bank

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

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

Question bank settings

Overview

The Overview 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 a removed question bank.

Labels

At 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. They can be adjusted and in addition, it is possible to add your own personal labels. You can read more about labels here.

Question bank assignments

At the Question bank assignments tab you can add protection rules to the question bank labels, to disable changing exercises in a question bank assignment. When enabling this option on a label, no changes can be made to assignments that have this label. You can read more about assignment protection rules here.

Exercises

At the Exercise tab, you can define exercise protection rules to:

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

You can read more about exercise protection rules here.

Tags

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

Audit log

The Audit log will show the date and time that the question bank was created, when someone was added or removed as a publisher or author and when a new question bank assignment was created and/or removed.

Removed assignments

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