For steps to access the Settings page, see How do I inspect and adjust the settings of an assessment?

When you access the Settings page, the Availability and Submissions options are expanded by default.  If they are not displaying:

1. Select the section title on the assessment's Settings page.
2. Or select the Expand All link to open all the sections on the Settings page.

By default, the assessment will be released to the Entire Site.

Alternatively, you can release the assessment to Anonymous Users or Selected Group(s) within your site.  Select one of these options from the drop-down menu.

By default, only 1 submission is allowed.  Enter the number of times students are allowed to submit the assessment, or choose Unlimited to let them submit as many times as they like.  

The availability dates let you specify when your assessment can be accessed by students.  By default, all the dates are blank.  

You may enter the dates into the fields provided, or use the date-picker (calendar window) to select a date and time.  If you enter a date manually, it will need to be in the following format: month/day/year hours:minutes am or pm.  For example, to make an assessment available on May 22, 2017 at 12:00 PM, you would enter 05/22/2017 12:00 pm into the available date field.

1. The available date is the start date of the exam window.  Students will not be able to see the assessment before this date.  Publishing an assessment with a blank available date will make it available immediately upon publishing.
2. The due date is the end date for the exam window.  Students will not be able to submit after this date unless you accept late submissions (see below for accepting late submissions).  If late submissions are allowed, any submissions after the due date will be marked as LATE.
3. When you select any date field, the date-picker will display.  You can choose a date by clicking on it in the calendar, or by clicking Now.  Select a time using the Hour and Minute sliders.  When your date is selected, click Done.
4. If, after selecting a date, you decide that you would like to leave any of the date fields blank (e.g. have no due date for the assessment), select the red X icon next to the corresponding date field to delete the date.

1. Under Late submissions accepted? you can accept late submissions by selecting Yes, until, then entering a late submission date in the adjacent date field.  By default, late submissions are not accepted.  You may enter the dates into the fields provided, or use the date-picker (calendar window) to select a date and time.  If you enter a date manually, it will need to be in the following format: month/day/year hours:minutes am or pm.  For example, to allow late submissions until July 27, 2018, 1:04 PM, you would enter 07/27/2018 01:04 pm into the late submission date field.
2. If you do allow late submissions, submissions that come in after the due date will be marked LATE in capitalized red letters after their Submit Date.

To make a timed assessment, select the has a time limit of check box and select a time limit in hours (hrs.) and minutes (min.) from the respective drop-down menus.

Advantages of a time limit:

• A bar indicating how much time remains displays to students during the test. The time remaining is restricted by the latest submission date allowed for the test (the due date, or if late submissions are allowed, the late submission date).
• When the time is up, a student's work in progress will be automatically saved and submitted.

The Autosubmit setting forces the submission of saved assessments belonging to students who have started the assessment, but did not successfully submit their work before the latest submission date allowed.

Please note that Autosubmit does not save student work before submitting. Only work the student saved before the latest submission date will be included in an automatic submission.

To enable this option, check the box to Autosubmit saved student work after latest acceptance date.

For more information, see How does Automatic Submission work in Tests & Quizzes?

By default, the notification option is No - I do not want to receive any emails.  To receive email notifications when students submit the assessment, select Yes - Send me an email for every submission or Yes - Send me one email digest each day.

By default, the option Show question point value during assessment is selected.  Select Hide question point value during assessment to prevent students from seeing the questions' point values while they take the assessment.

You may create a Secondary Password for added security on your assessment.  The password is typically provided by a proctor in a classroom or testing center, so students must be present to enter the assessment.

1. Select Ensure students take exams from specific location to expand that section.
2. Enter the desired password in the Assessment Password field.

To enter a message that will display to a student once they submit the assessment, select Add message that students will see after submission.

1. Enter the Submission Message in the field provided.
2. You may also enter a Final Page URL to be displayed after submission.  Select Validate URL to confirm adding the URL.
