Configure portal level settings for a users study dashboard

Self-practice lets students generate their own quizzes directly from their Study. The settings below control which tag filters students can use when doing this. If you're new to the Study feature, read the overview first.

Collections and the Study

Before you start

Make sure the Study page is enabled for your students, that your Collections have Generated attempts enabled, and that your questions have faceted tags set up.

Study settings

Allow students to practice by tag

Select which tag facets students can filter by when generating a self-practice quiz. The available options are Subject, Topic, Subtopic, Skill and Difficulty.

🧠 Only enable facets that are consistently tagged across your questions. Enabling a facet that most questions don't have will result in students seeing very small or empty quiz results.

Tag selection display mode

Choose how tag filters are presented to students:

• Dropdown - Best for large tag sets, keeps the interface condensed.

• Toggle - Best for smaller tag sets, displaying all tags upfront.

• Allow multiple tag selection - When enabled, students can select more than one tag per facet when generating a quiz.

• Exclude untagged questions - When enabled, questions without tags are excluded from self-practice quiz generation entirely.

🎓 What students see

When a student selects Self-practice from their Study dashboard, they are presented with the tag filters you have enabled above. They can select which mastery levels to include, choose a mode and length, then generate their quiz.
