Showing or Hiding Codes, Variable Names and Question Tags
- To show or hide codes, click View and select Codes to display or hide “invisible codes” such as tabs and paragraphs in a question.
A check mark appears next to the menu option when codes are displayed. These codes can be helpful when entering or editing a question. The codes do not appear when you print a question bank or a test.
- To show or hide variable names click View and select Variable Names to display variables names versus variable values in a question.
A check mark appears next to the menu option when variable names are displayed. The variable names do not appear when you print a test.
- To show or hide question tags click View and select Question Tags.
A check mark appears next to the menu option when question tags are displayed. These tags help you easily find dynamic content and bimodal questions. These tags do not print when you print a question bank or test.
- With the Question Tags option turned on, the recalculate symbol appears in the left margin next to any questions with dynamic content (algorithms).
Questions marked with the recalculate tag will not necessarily change when you recalculate your test or bank. The variables used in the question may be defined with a single value that does not change, or the dynamic variables may be located in a narrative instead of the question itself.
- With the Question Tags option turned on, the bimodal symbol appears in the left margin next to any bimodal questions.
