Enhancements
Pages | Users Affected | Description | When does this happen? | Outcome | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Any page where search criteria is present | Project Managers, Manage Reports, Observer, | Search on multiple IDs | Previously, multiple criteria were needed to search on multiple IDs or users would often import a section. | Users can now copy and paste a list of item IDs in the text box when searching on question IDs. Search is space delimited, can copy from word, excel or other external sources. | Enhancement |
| Exam Blueprint | Project Managers | Retire "Move Content To" | The exam blueprint page previously gave users the ability to move items between blueprint nodes. This was redundant functionality as it is present on the batch edit page. | Users can navigate to the search questions page, filter by criteria, and use the "Blueprint ID" selection to move items to a different blueprint area. | Enhancement |
| Batch Edit | Project Managers | Retire "Search Labels" | Previously, Project managers could add search labels via the Batch Edit page to questions so they could be returned via the "Has Label." This data was not stored anywhere within the application; it's only use was as an additional search criteria. | This feature was redundant behavior in the system. Functioning similar to collections within the tool this was removed to trim complexity from the application. | Enhancement |
| Write Questions | Item Writers | Ability to add additional constructed Response and specify toolbars | When authoring a Constructed Response / Oral question type previously you only had the ability to have one response area for candidates; you could also only specify the default toolbar or an enhanced tool bar. | Item Writers can now add additional response areas for candidates to a Constructed Response item with a text separator, reorder the areas or delete an area. Users also have the ability to specify the type of toolbar for each response area:

Release Updates
Pages | Users Affected | Description | When does this happen? | Outcome | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home Page | Reviewers | Reviewer Tab showing unauthorized projects | In version 1712 a bug was introduced that allowed reviewers to see all projects in an itembank assuming they had access to at least one project as a reviewer. They did not have access to these projects if they did not have another role in them. | This behavior has been corrected. Users are now only seeing projects that they have been given access to. | Fix |
| Admin Portal | Admin Userd | Admin user security question responses not being saved | When an Admin user used the "Change User" option in the Admin portal, the answers to the security questions that were set up were not being saved. | Corrected application so once the Admin users answered their security questions in the application, the answers were saved for the next time the user logged in | Fix |
