Messages customization

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.
