Organizing Questions

As your question library grows, good organization becomes essential. TestInvite provides folders, tags, a schema system, and bulk actions to keep your bank structured and searchable at any scale.

Folders

Folders group questions by any category that makes sense for your organization — topic, difficulty, department, source, or assessment type. The folder tree appears in the left sidebar of the Question Bank, making it easy to browse and navigate large libraries.

Each question belongs to exactly one folder. Folders are created on the fly when you first assign a question to them, or you can define them in advance in the Schema settings.

Tags

Tags are key-value metadata attached to questions. For example: difficulty: hard, topic: algebra, source: internal, year: 2024. Tags enable fine-grained filtering that folders alone cannot provide — you can filter by multiple tags simultaneously to find exactly the questions you need when building a test.

The Schema

The Schema (a premium feature) enforces naming conventions across your question bank. Configure it in Question Bank Settings → Schema.

• Strict folders — only folders defined in the schema are allowed. Questions cannot be saved to undefined folders.
• Required tags — certain tags must be present on every question in a folder before it can be saved.
• Strict tag values — tag values must match a predefined list, preventing typos and inconsistencies.

The Schema is especially valuable in large teams where multiple contributors add questions, ensuring consistent metadata that makes filtering and reporting reliable.

Bulk Actions

Select multiple questions using the checkboxes to perform bulk operations:

• Mass update — update the folder, tags, or scoring dimensions across all selected questions at once
• Create test from selection — instantly create a new test pre-populated with the selected questions
• Export — export selected questions as JSON or CSV
• Delete — remove selected questions from the bank

Search and Filter

Use the search and filter controls at the top of the Questions tab to find questions quickly:

• Text search — search by question text or reporting name
• Folder filter — click a folder in the sidebar to show only questions in that folder
• Tag filter — filter by one or more tag key-value pairs
• Type filter — show only questions of a specific type
• Dimension filter — show only questions tagged with a specific scoring dimension

Sort Options

Sort the question list by:

• Date — newest first or oldest first
• Reporting name — alphabetical by the question’s reporting name
• Question text — alphabetical by the question content
• Question type — grouped by type
