Organize my items using categories

Although is not essential for items to belong to a category, categories can help you organize your items.
Information about the categories is saved in the project's Library and can be used to organize all the items of the project.
Commands that apply to categories, such as Duplicate or Print, function in the same way as they do for other aspects of Netquiz Web.

List of categories

At the top of the Netquiz Web page, click on Library, then, in the menu on the left beneath the title Library, click on My categories.

The columns in the list:

  • Code: A unique number given by Netquiz Web when the category was recorded.
  • Title: Name of the category.
  • Note: The content of this field is not visible in the published quiz. This is used to write notes to help you manage the content or for collaboration with a colleague. It can help identify an item that you wish to note, such as something to check, complete, check copyrights, etc.).
  • Modification date: Date and time that the category was last saved.
