Assessment Center Homepage
Users can search for saved assessments from the Assessment Center's homepage. Assessments can only be deleted when they have not been assigned to students. Instead of deleting assessments, consider archiving those no longer needed to save historical data and prevent future assignments of those assessments.
Test Structures
Assessments are displayed on the homepage using a Test Structure. Test Structures incorporate a single assessment and house the attributes needed for test results. The Test Structure also controls how test elements are displayed for students. A single test can be structured as a hierarchy, where the “parent” test can contain “child” and "grandchild" tests to house test strands. Each parent/child of an assessment can be configured individually.
Test Hierarchy Example
| Test Hierarchy Example | |
| Parent Test | AASA Grade 04 |
| Child Test | ELA |
| Grandchild Tests | Reading for Information Reading for Literature Writing and Language |
