Introduction
This update introduces Advanced Scheduling - giving you true participant-level control to handle even the most complex exam scenarios. Manage different participants, assignments, availability and review periods seamlessly in a single schedule.
We’ve also added tools to improve visibility into your item bank, streamlined reporting, and enhanced usability for authors, analysts, and administrators.
New features
Advanced schedules with a sign-in code
In an advanced sign-in schedule, you can customize the delivery and review settings for each participant in your schedule, thus providing greater flexibility.
For example, within the same sign-in schedule you can now:
assign different assignments to the participants and / or set different availability periods.
schedule different review moments for individual participants.
Notes:
Advanced scheduling with a sign-in code is also fully supported in the assessmentQ API. A detailed overview of the available API calls can be retrieved from the online API documentation that you can find by browsing to your API Endpoint URL. For more information, see Using the assessmentQ API.
Advanced delivery via a sign-in code schedule provides the same level of flexibility as access codes and is planned to replace the access codes module in the course of 2026. More information will follow and there will be enough time to switch to sign-in codes. Feel free to discover the advanced schedule sign-in codes in the meantime.
Improvements
Viewing the item bank status for each item in an assignment
As an author, you already saw a warning icon in your assignment in case it contains items for which an update is available in the item bank.
Starting from assessmentQ 2025.06:
a new warning icon is shown when your assignment contains items that are no longer approved in the item bank.
an extra column is added to the column selector allowing you to show the original item status in the item bank.
Additionally:
The warning icons are now shown in front of the items in the items overview instead of at the end of the rows, thus improving the visibility.
The warning icons are now also shown in read-only mode of approved and live assignments, so you no longer need to open the edit mode to see them.
Other improvements
Sorting of data in PDF export of reports
As an analyst, you can export various reports from the assessmentQ Results modules to PDF.
Up to now, the order of the data you saw in the UI (after sorting on the desired column) did not align with the order in the PDF export.
Starting from assessmentQ 2025.06, the order in which you sort the data in the UI is used in the PDF export. Hence, you have more control over the order of the data in the PDF exports.
More information
Visible file names in an item
As an author, you can now see the file name of the media file (for example, image, audio, or video file) you uploaded in your item. When hovering over the file in the editor, the file name appears.
Setting a password
The set of special characters that an administrator can use when manually setting a password for a user is now identical to the set of characters that is supported in the API:
_ = ! @ # $ % ^ & * + - . ; [ ] £ € < > / ? , ~ ° § { }
More information
Oral exam
The device check is now by default displayed in the interface language of the assignment.

Removed features
Column Group in Sign-in codes overview
As working with groups is not supported in schedules with a sign-in code, the column Group in the sign-in codes overview is always empty. As it is consistently empty, the column Group has been removed from the sign-in codes overview and from the column selector for the sign-in codes overview.
End of life SCORM assignments
Starting from 2025.06, the SCORM assignments are end of life. The module SCORM assignments has been removed from Authoring. All filtering options on SCORM assignments have been removed from the backoffice modules.
Note that SCORM assignments in live schedules will remain available to the participants as well as the participants' results.
