List of Respondents

Below the General Settings area on the Group page, the List of respondents who did not start the test lists all respondents who are eligible to take the test for that group. It is here that the manager can add and delete respondents.

Each respondent within the same group must have a unique username assigned by the manager; this could be a permanent code, a generic code, the respondent's email address or name, or any other appropriate value chosen by the manager. In order to follow a respondent's results in more than one group, the manager should ensure that the same username is used by the respondent in each of the different groups.

  • From the Group page, in the List of respondents who did not start the test area, click Add respondents; the Add respondents window appears.

There are three ways you can add respondents to a group:

  • Using a CSV File, where the manager uploads a Comma Separated Value (CSV), .xls or .xlsx file with all the respondent usernames to the TPLS server.
  • Using Copy/Paste, where the manager adds respondent usernames manually, by copying a list of usernames from a text file and pasting them into the Add respondents window.
  • Individually, where the manager adds respondent usernames manually, one at a time.

IMPORTANT: All respondent usernames must be separated with a carriage return, whether entered manually or using a CSV file.
