Overview of Question Libraries

The Assessments module contains a Standard Question Library and a Custom Question Library. The Standard Question Library contains commonly used question/answer combinations and the Custom Question Library contains questions specific to your organization.

The libraries are accessed when creating an assessment and adding a question. The search feature searches both libraries. If the question you need does not exist in the Standard Question Library, you can create a custom question that is stored in the Custom Question Library, and is available for future selection.

Control Types such as Instruction Controls, MDS Push/Pull Control and Weights and Vitals Controls are not associated with either library.
