¶ Assessments
Assessments let you test trainees on what they have practised. Select Assessment in the sidebar to open its menu. It has six pages, which follow the order you normally work in:
| Page | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Create | Build a new assessment from an Excel template |
| View | Browse and download the questions of existing assessments |
| Edit | Change the questions of your own assessments |
| Assign | Attach an assessment to one or more labs |
| Manage | Review and change which assessments are assigned to which labs |
| Score | See how trainees performed |
Administrators have the same six pages under Management > Assessment. See Administrator: Assessments.
