Ability to Clone an Item

This feature was developed to reduce the number of repetitive tasks required in creating Items with similar or very similar information. The newly cloned Item will be assigned a new Item Number and a version number. 

Item Set Sections

As written exam content is often split into different parts, for example, this may be by the style of question (e.g. first answer 100 SBAs, then 50 EMQs) or the subject focus (e.g. the first 10 questions on Cardiology, the next 10 questions on Nephrology etc...) or by some other arbitrary reasoning, Item Set Section was developed to better manage this process. Previously, Item Sets presented item content in 1 block and it was difficult to differentiate different sections within it. This new feature allows Item Sets to take the form of multi-section papers. Item Sections can be introduced in the Item Set and a corresponding Item Section Title and Item Section Description can be added. This features puts us in good stead to build more complex business logic in the future (e.g. only allow SBAs on Cardiology in section 1, allow any style question on ENT in section 2). 

Customising PDF templates

Ability for developer to implement a customised PDF template for exam paper delivery upon request. 

Asynchronous task management

This is a multi-part feature that was introduced in Practique to make more efficient use of exam administrators' time. Within Practique, there are tasks such as generating or downloading reports which takes the system a significant amount of time to complete depending on the size of exam being processed and the amount of data contained. Previously, when downloading or generating reports, the user was not able to move from the page on which the task was taking place. With the introduction of asynchronous task management, the user is now able to navigate to others parts of Practique whilst a process in ongoing. For each task, there is a notification which appears every 15 minutes at the top right corner of the brower to indicate whether a task has finished. The notification will also clearly indicate the status of the task, for example, if the task was "ABORTED" or if it failed "FAILURE". A task list page was also created indicating the status of each task in the corresponding column.

There is now a field that allows the user to specify the number of days since item has been used last time in the item set.

If items were not used for x number of days from the day of item set creation they are excluded in the generation of the item set.

There is an orange notification on Item Set page there are items in the item set that were used in previous item sets as per constraint defined in the blueprint.
