In the Bank Edit window, you can set up metadata fields for forms.  Use these to create tags for data that does not already exist in a default tag. The process is the same for both QTI Authoring and AD Authoring.

  1. Select Authoring > Banks.

  2. Select the Edit Bank icon. 

  3. Select the Form Metadata tab.

  4. Select the Add Field button.

    • Field Label: Enter a name for the metadata field. The label is used when displaying the field on screen. A version of the field label is used in the metadata export file.

    • Detail: Enter a description of the metadata field.

    • Show Settings: These checkboxes determine when a specific metadata field should display.

      • Show when printing: Select to include this field when printing the Form.

      • Show as item search filter: Select to include this field in the Metadata dropdown Form filter and as a static Form filter in Form search.

      • Show in search results: Select to include this field as a column on the Form search page.

      • Show in item analysis performance report

      • Show in teacher test creation.

    • Field Type: Select a field type. There are four field types that determine the input controls available for recording data in a metadata field: Text, Checkbox, Select, and Multi-Select.

      • For Select and Multi-Select, enter the text for the options you want to appear in the dropdown, then select Add.

  5. Click OK to save the metadata field.

  6. Repeat this process as needed, then select Save.
