Release Updates

Pages	Users Affected	Description	When does this happen?	Outcome	Type
Exam forms page	Project Managers, Exam Build	Exit exam form page. Removed redundant exit alert.	Previously when navigating away from the exam form, users were prompted with an additional message to save their changes even if they had already saved their changes.	Once users have saved their changes they no longer receive that pop-up message from the browser.	Update
Manage References	Project Managers	Ability to add references from Manage References page	Previously when adding a reference, users had to draft an item, add a reference to the item, in order for the reference to be written to the system.	Users can now add references to the Manage References page.	Enhancement
Write and Modify Questions	Item Writers	Modified editor for Edit Only and None toolbars (Constructed Response/Oral Type) Ability to set Min/Max at item level	When authoring constructed response/oral items, and selecting a specific toolbar along with initial response. Previously when users created multiple-choice, multiple-response and point and click items if they wanted min/max values presented in the QTI they would have to specify this for an entire section as opposed to specific items.	Users will have the ability to format and style text based on the toolbar they have selected. For the edit only and none, users will not have the ability to style text. When users create and modify MCMR and Point and Click items they can now specify min/max values at the item level using the advanced properties.	Enhancement
Project Configuration Page	Managers	Ability to configure Advanced Properties Min/Max	Managers were not allowed to specify item level min/max properties within the project configuation	Managers can now specify default min/max properties for new items in the project. They can also set the configuration for min/max and allow the item writers the ability to modify these values at the item level.	Enhancement
QTI Export	QTI Export, and Managers	SVG Thumbnail showing too large in Athena Test Driver	Previously the logic for SVG's was set to export a thumbnail image of 300x300.	For newly imported SVG files, the system will scale the thumbnail according to the original image instead of forcing a size.	Fix
Examine Questions	Reviewers and Managers	Unable to View SWF Files	Previously users were unable to view SWF files from the Examine questions page	This has been corrected, users can now see SWF files in a separate browser tab	Fix
Assignment Notifications	Writers and Reviewers	Inactive users receiving assignment notifications	Inactive users with assignments were receiving daily and weekly assignment notification emails.	Now, inactive users with assignments will not receive assignment notification emails	Fix
QTI Configuration page	Managers	Availability Period Popup Loop	When cloning an exam that contains an availability period at the section level if you were to set the beginning date later than the end date users would be caught in an infinite loop.	Now users can modify a cloned exam with availability periods without the risk of being caught in an infinite loop.	Fix
