Notes and Videos: February 12 Release

Our latest product update introduces key enhancements to exam rescores, bulk item management, reporting, and more. These updates are designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and user experience across various workflows.

Results Management

Enhanced Exam Rescore Capabilities

Previously, rescores using the same exam form as the original delivery were restricted due to duplicate record issues in reports. With this update, users can now request a rescore even if the same form is used. This change aligns with our recent enhancement that allows modifications to form settings after publication, including adjustments to the cut score.

Item Management

Bulk Item Update Now Runs Asynchronously

To enhance usability, the Bulk Item Update process now runs in the background even if the user navigates away from the page. Users can also close the progress dialog without interrupting the update. A real-time progress update will be displayed, and an in-app notification will confirm completion, ensuring a seamless experience for managing large-scale item updates.

Expanded Code Block Support

The code block feature now includes R as a selectable option, expanding support for a broader range of programming languages. This enhancement ensures greater flexibility and accuracy in coding-related exam questions. This can either be used in Authoring or in Item Management Portal.

Store

Exam Check-In Policies Now Reflect Proctor Settings

Candidates will now see exam rules and policies that accurately reflect the proctor settings configured for store exams. A new Exam Rules & Policy Exceptions section has been added to the check-in screen, displaying only the applicable policy exceptions (e.g., calculator use, scratch paper allowance). This update ensures transparency and a more consistent check-in experience. 

Reporting

Enhanced Reporting on Historical & New Candidate Data

Users can now generate reports that include both historical and new candidate data. To maintain system performance, historical data reports are limited to a 12-month range. Non-historical results retain full functionality. A warning pop-up will guide users if their report criteria exceed the allowed range.

Streamlined Navigation for Item Statistics Updates

Users updating Item Statistics in the Item Analysis Report will now see a Go button in the notification, directing them to the relevant organization and blueprint in Item Management. This update ensures a smoother workflow by immediately taking users to the appropriate section for review and management. 

Voucher

Email Domain Restrictions for Vouchers

Organizations can now restrict voucher redemption by email domain. Admins can manage this setting under Voucher Programs → Add Programs in the “Email Restrictions” tab within the Bulk Discounts section. If a voucher is assigned to an email that doesn’t match an approved domain, it will become non-redeemable unless updated. Additionally, we have relocated the "Enforce Assigned Email to Book Exam" toggle and added a confirmation modal when deleting domains. These updates enhance control over voucher distribution, improving security and access policies. 

 

These improvements reflect our commitment to optimizing performance, accuracy, and security across our platform. Stay tuned for more enhancements in upcoming releases!
