Assessment numbers are an optional feature that provides an additional identification to each exam-taker. The name of this additional ID can be customized for each account. Ask your Customer Success Manager to help you to set up this unique identifier.
This assessment number will override the Exam-Taker ID in an assessment to provide anonymity when processing and grading an assessment. It is optional to import these Assessment Numbers and will need to be provided separately after your Exam-Taker data has been imported, but before an assessment is posted.
Important: Assessment numbers must be imported before an assessment is posted. If the assessment numbers are imported after the exam-taker has downloaded the assessment, the assessment will not be stamped with the Assessment Number.
