Quest Ladder / Question types
Question types: the list page
Every question type you own or can use, with filters that cut a long list down to the one you want.
A type is a design. A question is one of its children.
What is on this page
Question Types lists every type you own, plus any built-in or community type you have brought in. A type is the design; the questions learners actually answer are generated from it.
The columns tell you what each one is and how far along it is.
| Column | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Title | The name you gave it. |
| Question type | Where it came from: your own, community, or built-in. |
| Question format | Multiple choice, numeric input, short answer and so on. |
| Subject | What you classified it under. |
| Difficulty | Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. |
| Status | Whether it is published and assignable. |
| Questions | How many instances have been generated from it. |
| Completeness | Seven small badges, one per section of the editor. |
| Identifier | The slug, for when you need to name it exactly. |
Reading the completeness badges
The badges are the fastest way to see what a half-finished type still needs. Each is one section of the editor, and each is Empty, Has content or Confirmed.
| Badge | Section |
|---|---|
| D | Details |
| S | Shared settings |
| V | Dynamic content |
| Q | Stem and answer |
| H | Hints |
| Sol | Solutions |
| AL | Active learning |
Confirmed is not automatic. You tick it yourself with Mark section complete in the editor, which is what makes the badges worth trusting when you come back weeks later.
Narrowing a long list
The filter bar above the table combines, so you can ask for advanced numeric types tagged for one topic and get four rows instead of four hundred.
- Search, Question format, Subject, Age group, Difficulty and Tags narrow by what the type is.
- Scope chooses whose it is: All, My creations, Community or Built-in.
- Status, Quality, Revision and Created by narrow by its state.
- Include test fixtures shows the throwaway types a test run left behind. Off unless you are looking for them.
Working on several at once
Tick rows to get the bulk bar. From there you can duplicate a set of types, or start a batch AI build across all of them, which is the practical way to bring twenty similar types up to the same standard.
Import question setup takes a spreadsheet of draft shells so you can plan a term's worth of types outside the app and bring them in as a set. Download options gives you the template for that file, or exports one type.
Deleting a type
Deleting is the one action here that reaches further than the page. Before it happens you are shown exactly what goes with it: how many generated questions, how many ladder steps that use it, and how many other types depend on it.
Read that count. A type sitting in three ladders takes three learning paths with it, and the learner records attached to those questions go too. If you only want it out of the way, unpublish it instead — it stops being listed and assignable, and every existing link still works.
