Available for Planner.
Test design settings in Inspera Assessment allow Planners to customize the visual presentation and behavior of a test for candidates. This article explains how authors' design settings are implemented, details how Planners can override these settings, and outlines the options for configuring test design.
Understanding design settings for tests
Design settings control how the entire Question Set and test display for candidates. Authors typically define these settings within the Question Set itself, and they are automatically applied to the test. However, Planners have the flexibility to override these settings at the test level to align with specific test delivery requirements. When a Planner makes changes at the test level, it does not impact the original design of the Question Set.
To activate this specific feature, please contact the Service Desk.
How to configure design settings
Planners can adjust the design settings directly from the test setup page.
-
In the test setup, choose Design at the bottom of the test page. This will display a preview of the Question Set along with different options in the panel on the right side.
-
On the right-side panel you'll find various options for how you want the test to be displayed for students. These options also allow you to add or remove specific functionalities for candidates.
The design settings for tests and question sets are identical. You can find explanations of all the different settings in the article Design settings in question sets.
Overriding question set design settings
When editing design settings at the test level, the Planner's choices override the Author's original settings from the Question Set. The options in the right panel will clearly show whether the settings have been changed by the planner. If needed, there is an option to fetch the settings from the question set, which restores the design to the author's original settings.
