Item Edit Value
The Item value edit page allows users to edit value information for an Item record. Value information for items primarily applies to essay/constructed response type Items (
glossary). Once changes are made the user can click the Save button in the bottom right hand corner to commit changes to the database. Note: User rights might be restricted by Form rights, Bank rights or the record being locked.
Tab Strip
The tab strip at the top of the page allows the user to go back to the Item entry grid Selection, to the Item Edit General page, to the Item Edit Text page, to the Item Edit Competency page, to the Item Edit Reference page, to the Item Edit attachment page, to the Item Edit Statistics page or Usage page. Note: depending on system configuration not all options are available.
