General Settings

On the Group page, the manager sets the parameters for each group and adds respondents.

1. In the General Settings area, select a Status for the group: Active or Blocked. The default setting is Active. A blocked group is unable to administer a test.
2. In the Group name field, type a representative name for the group (for example, New Students Fall 2014).
3. In the Password field, type a password for the group. You can select the Show the password check box to make the password visible. Passwords are case-sensitive, must be at least 8 characters long, and contain at least one letter and one number.
   IMPORTANT: This is the password that the group’s respondents will have to enter to be able to take the test. They cannot take the test without providing a unique username combined with a unique group password.
   
4. From the Test start drop-down lists, select the date and time when respondents will be able to begin taking the test. This is the earliest possible date that the group’s respondents can take the test. The default value is for the current day.
5. From the Test End drop-down lists, select the date and time when respondents will no longer be able to take the test. This is the date at which the group’s status will automatically be set to Blocked. The default value is for the next day.
6. Click Save. A banner message appears, indicating that the group was successfully saved.
