How to edit a question


Questions are used to compile evaluations. Evaluations are assessments for employees that can be used in learning paths to test an employees level of knowledge at certain stages throughout the learning path.  

You can create categories to group related questions, for example you could create a category called 'Foreign Exchange', then add all your questions on foreign exchange to the category to a make it easier to add them to an assessment that needs to test this area. You can create questions then add them to a category, or create/edit a category and add a new question from there.
