Draft versions of the lot (not published at all) can be deleted, but once the item is published, then the only option is to archive (events and reports) but not delete. Blueprints have no archive nor delete option. Many thanks Alefiya RCPCH sug_gs1ykhlpzpldi5i 2026-05-19T10:26:05Z 2026-05-19T10:29:36Z I would like to suggest a feature - to incorporate a table type custom field within a form which a user can fill in. I have not see in this feature in any forms we presently use. Our stakeholder wanted a table like below which the trainee can fill in. At present, I have had to add each column as a separate custom field in the form . sug_drfahqcm5rnkpoe 2026-05-06T10:31:49Z 2026-05-11T09:23:13Z Currently examiners that view/score item sets can download that full item set with all information. Can a permission be added to remove this? sug_hwb6cola6ztj4tb 2026-05-08T13:00:48Z 2026-05-11T06:07:10Z The public portal displays items/options that are open or upcoming based on booking window open/close dates. It would be helpful if it was also possible to display or choose to exclude items that have capacity of 0. sug_oihk2besaut6uov 2026-04-27T16:49:43Z 2026-04-29T17:58:17Z Currently, creating a new Exam Blueprint that is nearly identical to an existing one requires manually creating the blueprint from scratch in risr/assess. Suggestions to improve efficiency: -Clone Functionality: The ability to duplicate an existing Exam Blueprint and edit the new copy. -Import/Export: The ability to download an Exam Blueprint as a spreadsheet, edit it offline, and upload it back into /assess to generate a new Exam Blueprint. sug_pzkxenucnqdbown 2026-04-16T02:17:26Z 2026-04-29T17:57:47Z On the statistics analysis report for Single Best Answer Multiple Choice questions (SBA MCQs) the report currently only shows the question number and no other information about the question. This means that we have to manually add a cover sheet to that report that has the question number, the associated question title and our main dimension (medical disciplines). With this additional information our question writers know which question the statistical analysis refers to. Could we add a few more elements to choose for this report? For example so we can select Question Title and the Dimension that we want to include. That way all the statistical data is easily referenced to the question? sug_wcehky546cjz3ec 2026-04-20T04:51:49Z 2026-04-27T05:46:05Z Would it be possible to have a function added to archive or retire blueprints that are no longer required? sug_whqgycsvhqfel3b 2026-04-09T08:39:32Z 2026-04-13T17:00:09Z The ability to view a marksheet as it would be seen on the ipad would be really helpful when building them. the html and pdf views don't really show how nice it will look once published to ipad. in order to do this you have to build an entire exam to publish to devices then log in to see them. a quick pdf view in ipad mode would be incredibly helpful. sug_toxh4mqcqnqklte 2026-04-09T08:42:04Z 2026-04-13T16:58:15Z Currently if running multiple sessions the QR codes need to be individually downloaded. it would be really helpful if there was a tick box that says 'print all QR codes for this exam' and then allowed the download of all of them into a zip file. this would save time as currently you need to go into each session, open the QR code logins, down load and then print. If running 3 days of exams we have 18 sessions so clicking each one individually ends up being time consuming. Many thanks sug_zwswjbbuwmxj0eh 2026-04-01T11:23:26Z 2026-04-01T12:32:24Z Currently, there is no way to bulk download risr /apply attachments, so each has to be downloaded individually which is not easily scalable if any documentation is needed outside of the system. sug_evzi05ohjkdflp0 2025-11-28T08:48:19Z 2026-03-27T10:30:04Z In our OSCE exams we want to add a note to the examiner, NOT to be read out and for information only. For example, a citation reference for the question used, or notes about the case for internal use. Having a 'Comments' field of sorts available in the back-end set-up of an OSCE station that isn't visible to the Examiner is valuable and there is an inconsistency between Written items and the OSCE item with the existence of this field. sug_1odjonekhifvkqh 2026-03-23T16:57:15Z 2026-03-23T17:01:39Z Hi All, We were wondering whether it would be possible to introduce analytics for alerts published within risr/advance. Having access to basic engagement statistics—such as open rates or the percentage of users who viewed an alert would be extremely helpful. This would allow us to understand whether our messages are being seen and to better tailor our communication strategy. Thank you for your support in this. RCEM sug_hldatbeh3wrdfkx 2026-03-09T05:25:11Z 2026-03-09T07:43:00Z sug_nu9vbga5sdlv0ue 2026-03-05T23:08:23Z 2026-03-06T07:09:42Z All event forms have Description (Optional) field at the top of the page. Please make it so we can hide it as that field is not required and takes up precious screen display real estate. sug_mftps9pbi28yais 2026-03-03T11:05:27Z 2026-03-03T11:05:34Z The layout display in A4B (assess for browser) is fixed and does not allow for candidates or examiners to adjust the amount of space provided for the question/answer and any resources. Provide the ability for users to adjust the layout to adapt to different exam content. Provide a 'grab bar' to allow the user to drag the divider left or right. sug_eyp5ukmfvzncde6 2026-02-15T23:58:54Z 2026-03-02T10:45:16Z When doing exam QA, I have come across archived images within items. Suggest: Generating an alert to either the itemset view and/or the resource page within an item to indicate that the most recent version of an image isn't being used in the item. sug_0rq7pobtu8vqbdn 2026-02-26T02:42:04Z 2026-03-02T10:26:41Z I am trying to analyse the marks from candidates in the Candidates Page and I'm wading through Excluded ones. Can we please have a toggle option on this page to hide/show those who have been excluded from view? Example URL: https://XXX.practique.net/scoring/sessiondates/968/assignments/ sug_brauzhwkzjibstn 2026-02-15T23:41:03Z 2026-02-27T08:57:57Z When creating written exams across multiple time zones, we are able to add each time zone in the exam session set-up which is great. But when the information is required for starting exams, it isn’t visible on the dashboard. The time zone feature is pointless without being visible on the dashboard when administering on exam day. sug_zzb2kud6wu2vbcs 2026-02-12T23:29:38Z 2026-02-13T10:44:30Z Provide the option to download OSCE video recordings at different resolutions (e.g., 1080p, 720p). This would allow users to choose higher quality for detailed review or a lower resolution for faster downloads and smaller file sizes. sug_9cwunom9xdenwq0 2026-02-12T09:41:29Z 2026-02-13T10:44:07Z Currently all candidates on an exam have to be excluded one at a time. This is okay when it is a few candidates here and there. However, we have multiple class tests on a weekly basis for several cohorts with 150+ candidates and at times will need to exclude 30+ candidates which is tedious and not a good use of time. Therefore, a batch exclude option would be extremely useful in these instances. sug_hztgfyqfdarlggb 2026-02-11T14:21:36Z 2026-02-13T10:43:51Z Candidates with reasonable adjustments generally receive a consistent proportional time concession for each exam they sit. However, at present, the only way to apply a time adjustment is on the dashboard for each individual exam, and it's a manual adjustment of the absolute time in minutes. This is both laborious and subject to significant human error. The proportional time adjustment (e.g. 25%) should be stored against the candidate's record and applied automatically when the candidate is added to an exam. sug_qr3lutk4mxc0ueo 2026-01-30T14:27:34Z 2026-02-11T13:20:17Z As an organisation we use a method called the Modified Cohen method to set the pass mark for a large portion of our assessments. The method involves taking the score of the student at the 90th percentile and multiplying it by 0.65 to calculate the pass mark. It would be immensely useful & save us a lot of time to have this method listed as an option. sug_8ky71fjbmqf940b 2026-02-10T21:10:18Z 2026-02-11T08:22:36Z Text box that allow bullet points and list formatting sug_bies7z5qvfpfsue 2025-12-12T13:52:26Z 2026-01-26T10:42:41Z The AI generator withing itemset currently doesn't support marking that is outside of 1 for correct answer and 0 for incorrect answer on SBAs. sug_ytkaf06iaeag6x0 2026-01-20T14:27:51Z 2026-01-26T10:40:53Z Currently, API integrations retrieve all available records during each execution, regardless of whether the item data has changed since the previous run. This results in unnecessary data transfer, increased processing time, higher system load, and redundant downstream processing. There is no standardized mechanism to filter question bank data based on the last modification timestamp. Proposed Improvement: Introduce an optional API query parameter such as modified_on or updated_since that allows consumers to retrieve only records that have been created or modified after a specified timestamp. This enhancement would enable incremental data pulls instead of full data refreshes for each API call. sug_ocvafumccsrfagw 2026-01-16T02:09:32Z 2026-01-20T17:20:51Z 1. Change Search label on the top text box to Resource title 2. Allow wild card searches, currently we have to know the EXACT title to find anything in the first field. 3. Change Asset type to Resource type for consistency 4. Only show Variant if the site has multiple languages set up 5. Allow Blueprint Categories to be added as a filter on the initial screen. Currently we must add a Title, or Resource type and search first, before we can apply a blueprint category. This is counter intuitive when all we want to do is search for a type of image using blueprints. sug_2c8jmc2uw9jgjf4 2026-01-13T13:59:02Z 2026-01-20T17:19:50Z Only 2 answer options as radio button: either “True” or “False”. Keep optional “bookmark” feature to mark answers as uncertain so that candidates can check them again before exam submission. sug_4ktzimcashdvmo3 2025-12-17T15:50:17Z 2026-01-15T16:11:12Z A feature to allow an automatic start time to be added for each session of an exam. It could be based on time zone or on a specific time in a specific time zone. It would need to have the option to override the automatic start in case of issue. sug_ukmqvgokfvchzl6 2026-01-08T11:19:46Z 2026-01-12T11:03:05Z Currently, there is the ability to send users their passwords from risr/Assess, but not their usernames. It would be useful for both login credentials to be sent. sug_pcuhsn5yhgglwvx 2026-01-06T10:30:33Z 2026-01-12T11:15:01Z When there are multiple sittings of an exam, the data is required to be merged to generate overall analysis. Sometimes, however, we are asked to generate results split by the original session ID. The merged file does not retain the original session ID, it just creates a new single identifier so we have to extract the files one by one and merge outside of the Risr platform just so we can do analysis by original session ID. Please retain the original session ID when merging files. sug_j2mejaqbabmnnwg 2025-11-27T14:39:43Z 2025-11-28T11:23:45Z For troubleshooting purposes it would be very helpful if changes to user profiles, roles were captured in a user's audit log. #risr/apply sug_dpxnf0e3j5kdlmb 2025-11-21T21:41:36Z 2025-11-24T15:28:34Z Functionality within the RISR Apply platform that allows administrators to move configured items from the TEST environment to the PROD environment with a single click. This will streamline deployment processes, reduce manual effort, and minimize errors during configuration migration. Purpose: * Simplify the process of promoting tested configurations to production. * Ensure consistency between TEST and PROD environments. * Reduce time spent on manual migration tasks. Functionality: *Add a “Move to PROD” button within the admin interface. When clicked: *Validate that the configuration in TEST has passed all required checks. *Trigger an automated migration process to PROD. * Provide a confirmation prompt before execution. Include audit logging for compliance and traceability. Security & Governance: *Restrict access to authorized roles only (e.g., Admin or Deployment Manager). *Implement rollback capability in case of migration failure. sug_ku39pvkozqvpa08 2025-11-19T14:37:33Z 2025-11-21T09:02:23Z When completing the blueprinting for an item, users can’t view the actual question content without navigating back to the item information tab. This makes it difficult to make informed decisions about alignment with the blueprint categories, as users must toggle repeatedly between the item information and blueprinting tabs to recall the details presented in the content of the item. Introducing an “Item Preview” within the blueprinting tab that displays the item’s stem and options would greatly enhance usability and overall user experience. This read-only preview would enable quicker review and decision-making during blueprinting, while also reducing cognitive load required to recall the item content during this stage of content development. sug_ejkoihc5th4mm5s 2025-11-17T15:19:30Z 2025-11-21T09:49:24Z In the item editor for SBA item type, the stem and options are visually separated by a large gap and additional interface elements. This spacing makes it difficult for users to view how the question and its options appear together, especially when reviewing and refining the content. Adjusting the item editor layout so that the stem and options appear closer together on the screen would improve usability and user experience. This enhancement would create a more natural reading experience, streamline the content development process, reduce scrolling, and lower the cognitive load required to retain stem information when reviewing the options. sug_6umsmtv0n83gedq 2025-11-15T03:53:14Z 2025-11-21T09:58:25Z It would be beneficial to add a feature that allows staff to send real-time notifications or announcements directly to examiners during an OSCE. If an issue arises, admin staff could quickly send a short message to selected examiners—filtered by exam, session, or circuit—without needing to enter individual rooms and disrupt students or the flow of the exam. This would streamline communication, reduce interruptions, and help ensure the OSCE runs smoothly. sug_sqpn7rujrn3dmjr 2025-11-13T03:21:56Z 2025-11-21T09:45:53Z Opening the feature request originally submitted by: Maria Daigle as this request is really important to be reconsidered: In the same way we can modify the max marks after an exam is written (Admin button), it would be helpful to also change the marking increments if this was entered incorrectly. Another related suggestion is for an Approved item, the increments are not displayed anywhere. It is only shown when we can edit the marking criteria but once an item is Approved, obviously this button is removed. sug_gln8caihevijk2a 2025-11-13T03:21:56Z 2026-01-12T10:58:12Z for an Approved item, the increments are not displayed anywhere. It is only shown when we can edit the marking criteria but once an item is Approved, obviously this button is removed. sug_x3u0aqzh1b7yvh2 2025-11-10T14:48:33Z 2025-11-17T09:30:45Z Currently in risr apply, a user can only set minutes for action to trigger a transition after a specific time of inactivity or specified date and time. Preferably, it would be nice to be able to set a specified date and time to allows system admins specify a custom date and time if there is a application submission deadline. In the case of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Canada, we'd typically have to bulk delete applications in "draft" state at 11:59 PM on deadline day and might even have to transition applications from "Payment required" to draft state. See proposed change in screenshot. sug_mvsgylu9omno6cw 2025-11-06T12:00:38Z 2025-11-10T13:19:45Z Rogue formatting can be transferred to Comments boxes, if a user copy-pastes rich text from another application. Unfortunately, in some cases, selecting and deleting the content and re-pasting it as plain text fails to remove the formatting - e.g. stand-alone sentences are interpreted by HTML as headings and are displayed accordingly. Adding formatting controls to Comments boxes would resolve this issue easily, and would also allow users to enter correctly superscripts, subscripts and italics - all of which are essential in medical notation. Currently, this is only possible with HTML tags, with which most users will be unfamiliar. Also, coding takes time, whereas formatting controls save time. Thank you for considering this request. sug_hgsesqry06cy6i2 2025-11-05T23:15:36Z 2025-11-17T09:31:34Z The 'Only show this field when the user fills in' setting within the section field editor lets you conditionally display selected form elements but doesn't cover all situations where certain elements need to be shown or hidden. For example - using a toggle button to hide one or more form elements (you can currently only use a toggle button to show elements). sug_aemion8kbiefauc 2025-10-30T03:58:58Z 2025-11-04T14:34:04Z In our OSCE marksheet we want to blueprint each question with "Count As" at the question level of an item. 1. Feedback of the tagging is not visible to the user after it is applied: We cannot see what has been tagged in the marksheet in the browser UI. The Blueprinting tab shows the first line of the question from the marksheet where the category has been applied, not the category name, as expected. Once the item is saved, we cannot see the blueprinting in the either the marksheet or the blueprinting tab. 2. Note: Written questions with "Count as" applied indicate a tag icon with changed colour to the user, but this doesn't give us a QA opportunity in the browser UI either. As with the OSCE item, the blueprinting tab shows the first line of the question, NOT the blueprinting category applied. Checking items in our QA process is inefficient and time-consuming. See attached for more information. sug_6fn81y0usod3paq 2025-10-29T02:17:39Z 2025-11-21T09:50:39Z It would be good to have a feature in Risr that can recognise and flag same items (including when creating new items), for example, through the specific item's Item title, or other descriptive details in the particular item which may be very similar or even the same as that of another item. This would improve efficiency (reduce or eliminate double counting/ double work) as we would not always have to check by manual means such as using the filter function, which, even then, might not work as well as we would like it to. sug_hop42a8s5wbmjyc 2025-10-20T02:25:09Z 2025-12-08T13:56:32Z Following on from: https://communityspace.featureupvote.com/suggestions/356353/include-count-as-blueprint-tags-for-osce-criteria-in-exports The "count as" blueprinting dimension is hidden to the user after adding to a marksheet element for an OSCE item. Suggest: 1. Adding "count as" dimension text to the marksheet to confirm the addition. 2. Removing the question text in the blueprinting tab of the item 3. Adding "count as" dimension text to the blueprinting tab for the item to confirm ALL the blueprinting applied to an item. In the image attached, the only way I can see that a blueprint dimension is added, is to type it into the marksheet element "INTERPRETATION" and view it in the Blueprinting tab for the item. This is administrative duplication and a bad visual for the examiner user who is just interested in the question being asked. sug_n7tnrne1hbtq5p1 2025-10-19T22:57:24Z 2025-11-19T15:37:41Z I am looking at ways of rolling out updated blueprints and I can see that if I batch add a tag, then the system doesn't check if the tag exists already. Can we add a check, that a tag isn't duplicated? sug_gsnzejmqsysbguw 2025-10-17T13:12:01Z 2025-10-20T08:18:50Z Hi, we have requirement for some of our exams for students to be able to use Superscript and Subscript in their responses on VSAQ and SAQ questions in an exam. sug_qaqw6v6f0uksfum 2025-10-13T13:48:26Z 2025-12-08T13:57:21Z The system-generated Candidate Feedback Reports are great but could be improved on further, ideally to include the ability to report on the domains of assessment within the OSCE. For our clinical exam, the three domains of assessment are: A. History & Examination Skills, 2. Clinical Management, 3. Attitudes and Communications. I would love to be able to run a report that would tell candidates how they preformed in each domain by clinical case, and also in each domain overall. Ideally, I would also have the ability to report on this data across exams, to identify how particular groups are preforming within same over time. sug_exrnwbp19seqwm6 2025-10-13T13:42:59Z 2025-10-20T08:57:16Z Having the ability to introduce a 'drop-down' list of feedback for candidates from examiners would be ideal. The free-text option is great to have, but some postgraduate medical training bodies are moving away from this to the drop-down/tick-box format to protect themselves from the risks associated with gathering and storing free-text feedback that is usually not intended for review by the candidate without sanitization. Subject Access Requests can and are made via GDPR processes and original written text may be discoverable. Additionally, candidates tend to challenge free-text feedback more freely than the standard drop-down format. sug_wohgy0ljosu6cxu 2025-10-13T04:23:02Z 2026-03-02T10:23:54Z Currently multipart written questions (MWQs) can contain short answer questions (SAQs) but not very short answer questions (VSAQs). We have many MWQs that contain multiple SAQs that expect only 1-2 word responses and would lend themselves well to being VSAQs and automated marking however in order to make this happen in the current system we'd have to split the single MWQ into multiple VSAQs with the same stem. There would then be issues with tracking which VSAQs are related and what order they should appear in... and if the item set is randomised the order would be lost unless you added each related VSAQ into it's own section. That's a lot of manual steps and potential sources of error; an elegant solution would be to embed VSAQs as a question type in MWQs. Alternatively, allowing VSAQs to have multiple parts would also work. sug_vhw2q2jithllmgq 2025-10-11T00:37:21Z 2025-10-20T11:53:51Z For batch operation “start a new version” to be possible if some selected items are in the ‘draft’ state, and this operation would only apply to items in the ‘approved’ state. sug_5mtcoekrtsekdyi 2025-10-11T00:32:51Z 2025-10-20T11:53:51Z If you select multiple items, and use the batch operation “start a new version”, which is a requirement for certain other batch operations such as “Tag items”, then these items should remain selected after a new version is created.
