About the Panels on the View\Edit Pages

The View\Edit Item and View\Edit Stimulus pages have panels that allow you to set up the item or stimulus’s attributes, create content, and manage other features and aspects of an item or stimulus. The available panels and the fields within the panels may vary from one item bank to another, and they differ somewhat between items and stimuli. Table 1 describes the panels on these pages.

The page displays the ID and description of the item or stimulus you are viewing. You can edit the description, if necessary, by following the instructions in Viewing and Editing an Item or Stimulus.

Content Files

For item banks that share a centralized database, this panel displays information about whether the item/stimulus has been cloned to or from or shared to or from a different item bank. For more information, refer to Share/Clone to Other Bank. It also displays the last time the item or stimulus was updated in the source item bank, if applicable.

Comments

IAT Documentation

This panel allows you to create and view related documentation, such as graphic, animation, or simulation requests for an item.

Content Standards

Attachment Files

This panel enables you to upload and view attachments, such as PDFs, audio files, or video files. These attachments are for reference only and will not be displayed to a student as part of the item content. For audio or video to be displayed in the item content, you must directly add audio, video, and other applicable files through IAT.

Associated Forms

This panel provides information about the forms on which the item has been included. This is not relevant to creating items.

Common Item and Stimulus Alerts

This panel provides information about any flagged alerts that may exist for the item or stimulus. These alerts are usually generated if the item/stimulus has been cloned or shared from an item/stimulus that has been flagged at source.
