Question Bank Restriction
- Hannah Pietruszewska
The Question Bank Segregation feature gives you the capability to manage permissions across different groups within your organisation, such as specialities, themes or year groups. In addition to controlling the functional permissions of a user, for example assigning them as a Question Author, it is now possible to control which part of the Question Bank they have access to.
Step-by-step guide
The first step is to create a blueprint dimension that you will apply to users to manage which part of the Question Bank they have access to. For example, if a user belongs to the specialty of psychiatry you can create this relationship by assigning them to the psychiatry specialty as a Blueprint Dimension category. This will restrict access to Items that are tagged to the psychiatry specialty. A user can be assigned to multiple specialties.
Click on the Blueprints tab
Click Edit Master Blueprint
Click on Add new Dimension
Enter Dimension name i.e “specialty”
Select Dimension type “Discrete”
Check “Applicable to OSCE items”
Check “Applicable to Written items”
Check “Applicable to users”
Check “Mandatory”
Click on Create
2. In section “Blueprint Dimensions not assigned to any Blueprint Map”
For Dimension “Specialty” click on Edit Dimension categories
Click on Add new Category
Enter category Text i.e. “psychiatry”
Click on Create Category
Click on Back to Category list
Click on Back to Dimensions
Repeat the above to create all categories within the Dimension
3. Continuing on the Blueprints tab
Click on Add new Blueprint Map
Enter Name i.e. “Specialty”
Click on Create
