New items represent new features/functionality that have been added to ScholarRx applications.
The ‘Abstract’ question type challenges test takers to analyze scenarios. It is commonly used to assess understanding of experiments or clinical investigations. Although the ability to create abstract questions was introduced earlier, recent updates have enhanced support for these question types within question ‘sets’ across our applications.
Note: The ‘Abstract’ question type includes an extra field called ‘Abstract,’ which contains content shared across all questions within a set.
When selecting ‘set’ questions to include on a test, all questions within the set are now automatically included—even if only one question is chosen. A confirmation message displays the total number of questions added. For example, if the first question in a set is selected, the confirmation may show that three questions were added to the test. The other questions in the ‘set’ that show in the search results are also selected and display with a shaded background.
The ‘Manage Questions’ tab provides a method to reorder questions on the test by dragging and dropping questions into the desired order. A border is displayed around the ‘set,’ so they are easy to identify. When a set is reordered, all questions within the set (border) are reordered.
When a test is previewed, set questions are easily identified by numbered icons.
When the first question in a set is selected on the test, an extra message is displayed at the top to indicate to the test taker that it is a multi-part question.
When questions within a set are ‘Abstract’ questions, this text will always be the same for all questions within the set.
When selecting ‘set’ questions to include in a pool, all questions within the set are now automatically included—even if only one question is chosen. A confirmation message displays the total number of questions added. For example, if the first question in a set is selected, the confirmation may show that three questions were added to the pool. The other questions in the ‘set’ that show in the search results are also selected and display with a shaded background.
It's important to note that all questions from a set may not always appear on the same search results page.
In today’s data-driven landscape, institutions have access to oceans of information to help inform and aid in their students’ success. By transforming raw data into actionable insights, Brick Analytics helps to uncover critical information that drives curriculum decisions based on consumer insights.
The following table provides a description for the items on the Analytics tab found on the Analytics & Feedback page.
Title of Brick
Displays the title of the brick to which the feedback applies.
Average Time
The ‘Average Time’ metric displays the average duration all authenticated readers spend on the brick. Time for unauthenticated readers is not included in this metric.
Favorited
The ‘Favorited’ metric displays the total number of times the brick has been favorited.
List Adds
The ‘List Adds’ metric displays the total number of times the brick has been added to a list.
Questions Answered
The ‘Questions Answered’ metric reflects the total number of questions answered. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of questions by the count of distinct readers who have answered the questions.
For instance, if a brick contains four questions and ten readers answer all four questions, the display will show ‘40’.
Note: Only the reader’s initial answer is counted; if they change their answer multiple times, it is still only counted once per question.
Brick Views
The ‘Brick Views’ metric displays the number of non-distinct brick views.
Example: If the same reader views the brick ten times, it is counted as ten views.
Total Time on Brick
The ‘Total Time on Brick’ metric reflects the total amount of time spent on the brick by all authenticated readers. Brick views for unauthenticated readers are not included in this metric.
Question Performance
The ‘Question Performance’ metric reflects the total number of times authenticated readers have answered the question.
Version Information
The ‘Version Information’ section provides the following information related to the brick:
Cloned From. When a brick is cloned, the original brick title displays; otherwise, it indicates that it is an original brick.
Clones. Displays the number of times the brick has been cloned.
Viewing feedback on your authored bricks provides valuable insights on how your content is perceived by readers. High-level brick feedback can be viewed from your ‘My Bricks’ page. If you want to drill down further, click the ‘Analytics & Feedback’ icon to the right of the ‘Likes (vs dislikes)’ percentage summary.
When feedback is provided on a brick, a notification is sent to the brick owner. To view brick feedback notifications, perform the following steps.
Login to Bricks Create: https://brick-management.scholarrx.com and click the notifications icon (bell). All unread notifications are displayed.
When you click on a notification, you are redirected to the ‘Analytics & Feedback’ page where you can view all feedback related to the brick. You also have the option to ‘Dismiss All’ notifications, or ‘Close’ the notification modal.

‘Just My Bricks’ tab
When clicked, only the bricks that you own display on the page. The number to the right represents the total number of bricks you have authored.

The ‘My Annotations’ page now only displays the brick name and a link to the brick on the Brick Exchange, resulting in a more streamlined experience.
Brick related metrics that used to display on the original view can now be found in the following places:
By clicking on the ‘View Statistics’ icon at the bottom of the brick on the Brick Exchange.
By clicking on the ‘Analytics & Feedback’ icon and viewing the ‘Analytics’ tab from the Bricks Create application.
The ‘All Collections’ page has moved exclusively to the Brick Exchange for all non-ScholarRx users to better accommodate the discoverability of bricks within our system.
To share, annotate, clone, or view statistics on a brick, perform the following steps.
Login to the Brick Exchange at https://exchange.scholarrx.com.

Click on a collection to see a list of bricks, then click the ellipses next to the desired brick to display the menu options.
Previously, if values were updated on the ‘Settings’ tab but not explicitly saved before switching to another tab, the changes were lost, requiring rekeying. To enhance efficiency and minimize manual input, we have implemented an auto-save feature. When successful, the ‘Saved’ text appears in the upper right corner below the ‘Publish’ button. In case of an unsuccessful save, the display shows ‘Last Save Failed’ instead.
We have restyled the ‘Publish’ button to improve clarity when publishing a test.
