Where possible, group and schedule names should include the unit code, so that each course can be easily identified in the future.
There are several special characters which should not be used, for example, & and £ (see below for a full list). Such characters will throw up an 'invalid character' error message.
All participants need to be created onto the system manually, as Questionmark Perception is not integrated with the University data hub. However, UoB users can authenticate using their UoB credentials (Single Sign On) while external users will need to be provided with a password.
UoB users must be imported using the import template provided. This must be completed correctly. The import template must be used for creating both multiple accounts and individual accounts.
1. Preparing the import template
Download the UoB import template and complete as follows
Field | Notes |
---|---|
USERNAME | student UoB username |
UoB email address | |
PASSWORD |
Random password. This password will not be used by the students but it is essential for the import to work correctly. Password rules are:
|
FIRST NAME | Student's first name |
LAST NAME | Student's last name |
DETAILS | Last year of study (eg 2020) |
DETAILS 1 | Last year of study (eg 2020) |
DETAILS 2 | Student number |
DETAILS 3 | Any other date you may wish to add |
SSO ID | Student UoB username. NOTE: If this is left blank students will not be able to log into the system, it will not be possible to reset their password on the system. You will need to re-import them again and select the option to override |
2. Save the file in CSV format on your local computer and proceed to the next step 'import UoB users onto the system.'
Note: Users already exist on the system
You might receive a message that the import failed because some users already exist on the system. This means that someone else has already imported the students and you will need to search for them and add them to your group. To do this follow these steps:
The following requirements should be taken into consideration before creating external users on the system.
Download the External import template and complete as follows.
Field
| Notes |
---|---|
USERNAME | xt_username (eg xt_joblog) |
User's email address. This is required and must be a valid email address which will be used by the system to email users automatically. | |
PASSWORD |
Random password. Password rules are:
|
FIRST NAME | User's first name |
LAST NAME | User’s last name |
DETAILS | Last year of use (eg 2020) |
DETAILS 1 | Last year of use (eg 2020) |
DETAILS 2-5 | Any other data if required. |
Save the file in CSV format on your local computer.
Note:
The system will automatically send a one-time link for users to log in and set a new password. Users will need to be notified in advance to look out for an email. External users' passwords can't be retrieved, if a user can't remember their password it will need to be reset by the local administrator via the User interface.
Bristol is limited by our licence to a maximum of 8,500 active participants enrolled on the system at any one time, and we can only stay within the limit by regularly removing participants who are no longer needed. Deleting participants does not delete results.
You will still be able to run reports on participants who have been deleted from the system.
To delete participants:
