TAO Portal

This editor displays which aspects of the TAO Portal that are currently editable at the system-wide level. The current option is to make email a mandatory field for new users (see Creating a new user).

TAO Advance

This editor displays which aspects of session presentation are configurable system-wide.

Breadcrumbs display at the top-left of an open session. They typically display name of the test, section, and item the test taker is currently on.

In the TAO Advance editor, you can disable whether the test, section, or item title displays (or all disable breadcrumbs). You can also edit what will display instead of the original names/titles.

These titles can also be edited during test authoring. For more information, see Test settings.

Test navigation

Enable linear navigation delay: Add a delay (in seconds) before the forward navigation button becomes clickable in linear navigation tests/parts. This prevents test takers from accidentally skipping an item without being able to go back.

Restrict non-linear navigation: The option to restrict non-linear navigation so that users can freely go back to any item, but can only go forward to the next item is now available. Once this feature is enabled, this behavior will replace the existing behavior for the non-linear navigation (users freely navigating to any past or future item).

Images

Add a test runner logo image. This will display in the top-left corner of a test session.

Diagnostic Tool

In this editor, account administrators can configure custom fields in the system settings to collect information from users. The collected values can then be used to filter and analyze the captured diagnostic data.
