The steps to avail the facility are given below:

STEP 1: Access the Admin Panel

The first step is to access the admin portal. For this just type the URL of the Whitelabel site, and Log in using Admin Credentials.

After successful login, the silence name would be visible on the same spot for ‘login button’. Click on it & select ‘Admin Panel’ Option.

STEP 2: Create New Categories (Optional)

If the client feels that the test to be created through DTC warrants a new ‘Level’ they can create new Level 3 & Level 4 through Categories Option. Otherwise they can directly skip to the next step, STEP 3 below.

Levels define where the content would be visible on the website or app, and the specific tests that could be accessed. Gibbon supports 4 levels – Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4. Out of which Level 3, & Level 4 can be created by the client.

Remember: Only Level 3 and Level 4 can be created by the client. For creating Level 0, Level 1, and Level 2, please avail the New Exam Addition/New L0 Addition facility.

See below on how to add levels.

Path: Dashboard > Content > Personal Content > Categories

1. Select the Level you want to create. Level 3 or Level 4
2. Now enter Name,  Section Tag, Question Tag. Tags are to categorize content and to easily navigate to the similar content.
3. A message resembling ‘New Level Created Successfully’ would be displayed upon successful completion.

STEP 3: Dynamic Test Creation

Dynamic Test Creation Process involves defining the details of the test, and assigning questions to the test. Each process is described in detail below.

Define New Test Details

First access the add-on page through the path given below.

Path: Dashboard > Content > Personal Content > Dynamic Test

Here the client would be able to decide where, will the test be visible, what would be its duration, how many sections would it contain, and its marking scheme. Clients can also provide optional sections in their test. The process is as follows:

• Define Level of the test. 

If the client has created new Levels in the previous level, they would be visible now. 

• Select Language.

You can select multiple languages by holding the Ctrl Key while clicking on the languages. Remember to ensure that the language of the test matches the language of the questions added.

• Enabling Sectional Timing 

Select this option if the test needs to have separately timed sections. Upon selecting this option, the Test Duration would be forfeited.

• Add Section 

This allows creation of sections in the test. Clients can add as many sections as they want by clicking the ‘Add Section’ button.

The newly added section would appear below.

You can add the section name, decide the marking scheme for the section, and decide on the sectional timing if the option for the same has been enabled previously. 

Click on the Next button to proceed to the next process of adding questions to the test.

Add Questions to the Test

• Select the exam, and the section (through Levels) from where the questions will be extracted.
• Based on the selection, different questions would be visible below. Click on the checkbox to include the section.

• To include questions from other exams, repeat the process of selecting Levels.
• Click on Next button to proceed.

• Selected Tests – The tests from which questions are included in the Dynamic Test.
• Sections – The sections of the tests from which the questions are included in the Dynamic Test
• Total Questions – The total questions in the selected test.
• Selected Questions – Now the client has to choose the questions which they want to include in the Dynamic Test. For this click on Add/Remove Sections and then select the questions that appear on the next screen. Click on Next to finish selection.

• Destination Section – Select in which section of the Dynamic Test will the questions go. After being done click on Preview & Finalize button.
• On the final screen, check all the details, and if all are correct click on Create Test. Click OK on any popup that appears.

STEP 4: Publish the Dynamic Test

The user would automatically be taken to All Tests option of the dashboard.

In the Status column, a number of options would be visible.

To publish the test, select Published. In the same menu, select whether the test would be Free or Paid. Click on Apply to finalize your choices. 
In the Action menu, select Render to see how the test would look. The test would be visible on the client’s website.

STEP 4: Modify the Test 

After the test has been published, clients can always modify a test by visiting the All Tests section. 

Path: Dashboard >Content >All Tests

After taking the path, search for the test, and click on Action menu. Options to edit properties, add or remove questions, edit existing questions, and delete the whole test would be available.
