Question Attributes

Question attributes help categorize questions for reporting and can be used as criteria to select questions for a randomized exam section.  

To configure question attributes, your role must have unrestricted access to the Question Attributes feature.

Create Question Attributes

  1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Exam and Question Manager > Question Attributes.
  2. Click + Create Question Attribute.
  3. In the Attribute Code field, enter a unique code for the attribute.
  4. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the attribute.  For multi-language systems you can enter the label key that will be used to look up the localized name in the user's preferred language.
  5. In the Type field, select the type of data represented by the attribute.  Attributes can be any of the following data types, which determine what type of values can be assigned to them:
  • Free text (a single line of text up to 255 characters)
  • Text area (multiple lines of text)
  • Drop-down (select the value from a list).  Note: You will need to save the attribute before you can add values to the drop-down list. Please see Configure the Attribute Drop-Down Values below for additional information.
  • Numeric (In PeopleFluent Learning versions up to and including 21.04, fractional numbers less than 1 must start with a zero; for example, 0.75, not .75). Select the Sum total when printing or reporting checkbox (located below the Type field) if you want to show the sum of values.
  • Check box
  • Date (a calendar tool to select a date)
  1. Click Save.

Attributes can be edited, but there are restrictions on changing an attribute's type. For additional information, please see Allowed Transitions Between Dynamic Attribute Types.

Configure Attribute Drop-Down Values

If you selected Drop-down in step 5 above, configure drop-down values.

  1. Scroll down the page and locate the Question Attribute Values section.
  2. Click Add New Option.
  3. Configure the value.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 to include additional values.
  5. Click Save.

Set the Attribute Permissions

Locate the appropriate attribute on the Question Attributes page.  Click the action menu and select Permissions. Use the permission selector, following the guidelines below:

  • Read-only allows the user to filter catalog search results by attribute, use an attribute as search criteria and assign an attribute to a learning module.
  • Unrestricted additionally allows the user to update, delete and set permissions for the attribute.

Delete a Question Attribute

  • To delete a single attribute, locate the appropriate attribute on the Question attributes page. Click the action menu and select Delete.
  • To delete multiple attributes, click the checkboxes for the appropriate attributes on the Question Attributes page. In the Bulk Action field, select Delete.

Question attributes that are being used in an exam can't be deleted.
