What you need to create an assessment

To create an assessment, you will need questions ready to add:

  • Questions you have created, or
  • Questions shared with you, or made available through hierarchies.

Archiving or deleting assessments

Select the checkbox next to any assessment and click Delete to remove it.

The Bulk actions drop-down also includes Archive and Copy options. (Your administrator must grant permission via Role settings.)

Assessments that have been scheduled or taken by candidates cannot be unpublished or deleted. This prevents loss of data that must be retained.
