On the Settings page, the Placement test customization section includes the Global Proficiency Level established by the TPLS administrator at the CCDMD. These values cannot be edited, however the Suggested course levels can be adjusted by the manager, so that respondents are automatically assigned to appropriate language classes.

1. For more information on how to select the suggested courses, consult the Proficiency Levels Descriptions in the For More Information section of the Help Guide for a summary of what students are able to do at each of the proficiency levels.
2. For each of the rows, enter a course number into the final column under Suggested course. The same course number may be associated with multiple proficiency levels. Once defined, these values are displayed in the Results page, the Respondents's results, and the exported CSV format results if you added this field to your template.
3. Click Save.
   

NOTE: The manager can, in the Messages customization section, decide whether or not to display the proficiency level and suggested course to the respondent on the end page of the test.

On the Settings page in the Messages customization section, the manager can customize test messages when tests are inactive and for when the respondent has completed the test.

When you first access the Management module, a default message such as the following (in English or French) appears as a placeholder in the Message for inactive test field (with the variables %nom_name and %courriel_email being replaced by the information saved in the Subscription menu):

This test is currently inactive. If necessary, please contact your institution's test manager:
Test manager's name: %nom_name
Email: %courriel_email

To customize the message for an inactive test:

1. Scroll to the Messages customization section on the Settings page.
2. In the Message for inactive test field, type the message that will appear if a respondent is presented with a test that has been marked as inactive.
3. Replace %nom_name with your name.
4. Replace %courriel_email with your email address.
5. Click Save.

To customize the message displayed at the end of a test:

1. Scroll to the Messages customization section on the Settings page.
2. In the Text displayed on the test’s end page field, type the message that will appear when a respondent has completed their test.
3. Select a Display respondent proficiency level option: Yes, to display the proficiency level results of the respondent’s test, or No to keep the results hidden from the respondent. The default setting is Yes.
   NOTE: You must fill out the last column of the Placement test customization section in the Settings page if you wish to also display the Suggested course to the respondent.
4. Click Save.

On the Settings page in the Template for Respondents’ Results Export section, the manager can determine specific fields and their order when exporting test results to a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file. The selected CSV format will apply to all groups in the subscription.

The default Template for Respondents’ Results Export includes two columns: respondent Username and Result (all categories). The template can be modified by selecting various types of data collected during testing and placing the data in a preferred order: 

• Username
• Result
• Group
• Last Name
• First Name
• Sex
• Language
• Self-assessment
• Start
• End
• Proficiency level (all categories)
  
• Proficiency level (each separate category)
  
• Suggested course

To customize the template for exporting to CSV:

1. On the Settings page, scroll to the Template for Respondents’ Results Export section.
2. Select an entry from the Available columns list and click the right arrow; the entry appears at the bottom of the Selected columns list.
   NOTE: To select more than one element, hold down the CTRL key on a PC or the cmd key on a Mac.
3. To change the order of items in the Selected columns list, select an item and click the up or down arrows to move the item up or down in the list.
4. To remove an item from the Selected columns list, select an item and click the left arrow.
