New Features

New items represent new features/functionality that have been added to ScholarRx applications.

Students can now request time accommodations from their instructors for faculty-assigned, timed tests. Instructors can set these accommodations in the Stats & Analytics application on the ‘Organization Roster’ page. When set, the accommodations will apply to all timed tests created by an instructor. Time accommodations will not apply to tests created by the student.

To configure time accommodations for a student, perform the following steps.

1. Login to the Stats & Analytics application at: https://faculty-portal.scholarrx.com. The dashboard is displayed.

Item	Description
Name	Displays the name of the selected student.

Emails blurred for illustration purposes

When the student logs in to take the test, they’ll see the adjusted time calculation when they begin the test.

Email Notifications for Faculty-Authored Tests

Email notifications for faculty-created tests will be sent 48 hours before the scheduled start time to ensure students are aware of upcoming assignments. When a test is scheduled with less than 48 hours' notice, the email will be sent immediately.

Note: Tests can be unpublished and modified until their start date and time is reached. If a test is unpublished, modified, and then republished, another email will be sent.

The email will:

• Notify students that a test has been created and when it will be available.

• Identify the test mode (timed, untimed, tutor).

• Include a sharable link to the ‘My Test’ page in the USMLE-Rx application.

Enhancements

Qmax Create

The Qmax Create application has been enhanced with the following items.

Add Author Name to Questions

Users with the ‘Faculty Qmax Author’ role will now see their name next to questions they create on the ‘My Questions’ page. Even when another user revises the question the originating author’s name will continue to display. This helps institutions identify the original author for tracking, accountability, and recognition purposes.

Delete Question Versions in ‘Approval’ Status

Users with the ‘Faculty Qmax Author’ role who create questions using the Qmax Create application can now delete never published questions or question versions that are in an ‘Approval’ state. When a question or question version in an ‘Approval’ state is deleted and a new version is created, the deleted version number is reused. For example, question Id 12345.2 is deleted, and a new question version is created from question Id 12345.1, then 12345.2 is reused. This ensures version numbers are not skipped and display in chronological order in the database for reporting.

The question version can also be deleted while the question detail is being viewed by clicking on the trash can icon.

Fixes

Qmax Create - Remove CDN & Credit Columns

Previously, when customers (external users) of the Qmax Create application used the ‘Upload file’ function, a ‘CDN’ and ‘Credit’ column displayed. These columns are only relevant to internal ScholarRx users, so they have been removed.

Faculty Assigned Tests & User Groups

Previously, when adding users to a user group that already had closed tests assigned, the late additions to the group were:

• Seeing the closed test on their ‘My Tests’ page

• Receiving a system notification

• Receiving an email

Now, when adding users to a user group that already has closed tests assigned, the late additions to the group will not:

• See a test if it’s already closed

• Get a notification

• Get an email

Should the group they are part of get deleted, all test history remains intact for reporting purposes.
