Creating a Batch of Tests

You can create a new batch from the list of tests in the Ready for Assembly section.

1. Do either of the following:

   • To start creating a batch from a specific test in the table, click Initiate Batch to the right of that test.

   • To start creating a batch without first selecting a specific test, click Create a Batch on the left side of the section.

   The Create/Edit a Batch window appears.

2. To change the attributes of your batch, select filters from the Batch Attributes section on the left and click Search. These are similar to the filters that appear on the Test Assembly - Main Index page. Search results appear in the Choose Tests To Add To Batch section on the right.

3. From the Choose Tests To Add To Batch section, use the checkboxes to select the test or tests you want to include in the new batch.

4. At the bottom-left corner of the window, enter an identifier in the Custom Identifier field and click outside the field. This may be useful for distinguishing similar-looking batches. The new batch name appears below in the format “[client]-[school year]-[season]-[subject]-[grade]-[mode]-[custom identifier],” based on your choices.

5. Click Create/Edit. The batch is now in the Assignment In Progress status. (If the Assign Blocks - Batch window appears, click Save to close it.) Form blocks can now be assigned to tests in the batch as described in Assigning Form Blocks to Tests in a Batch.

You can view the current state of the batch using the View button in the Assignment In Progress section.

To delete a batch in the Assignment In Progress status, select Delete beside it. In the confirmation pop-up, select OK. The batch is permanently deleted.
