Assessment Definition Attribute

Summary

Assessment Definition attributes allow a Workflow to contain a reference to a specific Assessment

Overview

It is often useful to require a Practitioner to complete an Assessment as part of their application process. For instance, if they are reporting that they completed a specific course, you may want to ask them some basic questions about the material to ensure that they recall the information.

This Attribute is used to link an Activity to the specific Assessment to use in that scenario.

The overall configuration looks like this:

  • The Create Activity Workflow contains an Assessment Definition Attribute.
  • An individual Activity Definition will therefore contain a reference to a specific Assessment Definition
  • The corresponding Complete Activity Workflow contains an Assessment Instance Attribute that points to the Assessment Definition Attribute
  • An individual Activity Instance will therefore contain a reference to a specific Assessment Instance, relating to the specific Assessment selected for the parent Activity

Configuration

This attribute collects no special configuration data beyond the standard values.

Input mode

In input mode, displays a single-select dropdown of published Assessments, grouped by Discipline/Credential.


In display mode, displays the name of the selected Assessment.

Data Storage

Stores the ID of the selected Assessment.

Sample Use Cases
  • Journal-specific evaluation: Activities can be used to represent journal articles that practitioners are expected to read and then answer questions about. Each journal article would be linked to a specific Assessment, so that when a Practitioner adds that article to their Learning Plan the system knows which specific Assessment the user needs to be taken to.
Business Rules
  • Assessments must be published to be selectable.

  • This data type is only assignable to Activities.

  • This data type cannot be copied.
