Question Module — author manual
This manual is intended for question authors and content managers working on their own Isograd platform: producing and publishing questions, subjects, question sets and tests using the account’s own question bank.
If you are a client account administrator (managing candidates, sessions, results), refer instead to the Account administrator manual.
Reaching the module
After logging in, you land in the candidate module (dashboard, candidates, results). To switch to the Question Module, open the module switch cards at the bottom of the left menu and click Item management. The Candidate Management card takes you back. The module is available to administrators holding the question-reading privilege.
The left menu of the Question Module has the following entries:
| Menu | Contents |
|---|---|
| Items | The question list, and a submenu Response scales. |
| Subjects | The subject list. |
| Tags | Submenu Item sets and Domains. |
| Tests | The list of tests built from your questions. Shown to administrators holding the test-reading privilege. |
| Visual aids | Images and reference documents shared between questions. |
| System | Select an AI — choose the AI model used by the assistance features. |
💡 Interface wording — On the English interface, questions are called items (“Item management”, “Item sets”). This manual uses the word question throughout.
Content architecture
The platform organises assessment content into several nested layers:
- Subjects — a subject is an assessable content area (Excel, Python, Internal procedures…). It is the reference unit for creating a test.
- Domains — break a subject down into broad skill areas (“Tables and charts”, “Calculation functions”) so reports can show a score per skill.
- Question sets — organisational bundles of questions, usable when composing a test.
- Questions — the items themselves, attached to a subject, a domain and optionally a question set.
- Visual aids — images and documents reusable from one question to another.
- Answer scales — reusable lists of answer options (Likert, frequency, etc.).
- Tests — assemble questions into a deliverable that candidates can take.
💡 Where to start? — If you are new to the tool, begin with the Subjects chapter: it is the gateway to the entire content chain.
