This is available for Planners.

Question assignment allows Planners to individually assign questions within a test to specific Graders. This function creates a more flexible way to let graders divide their workflow, for example, assigning all essays to a certain grader.

This article explains how to enable Question assignment, how to assign questions to Graders, and describes the questions page layout.

How to assign questions to Graders

The Question Assignment feature will open in a new page called the Settings page. Below, we will go over how to navigate the Settings page, how to assign a Grader, and how to assign a section. 

1. In the Questions Overview workspace, click the options icon (1) and select Edit assignee (2). This will open the Settings page.

   

2. To assign more Graders, click on the Unassigned box by your desired questions. From the dropdown, select your Grader(s). 

   

3. To assign a section, click on the Unassigned box by Section. 

   

4. Your question assignments will not take effect until you select the blue prompt to Update. If for any reason you need to leave the Settings page before updating, the settings page will save your assignees as a draft.
