Action Center

The Action Center sub-module enables you to perform different actions, such as web-preview items and stimuli; create packages containing item and stimulus content and rubric information; generate screenshots of how an item will be presented in the Test Delivery System (TDS); create reports containing item metadata; share or clone entities across banks; and submit mass revise requests.
