Steps to Edit an Item 

1. Log in into OSCAR, (you must have item editing permissions to complete this task)

2. Click on the Item Setup tab on the left-hand menu

3. A list of your items will be shown, find the item you want to update and click on the edit button 

4. Update the Item.  Please note that once scoring has started you will no longer be able to change the following

• Item Reference ID
• Rubric
• Item Type

When editing or creating an item the following tabs are available for configuration

Item Details

• Item Name - This is required and should be unique
• Reference ID - This is auto-populated but editable if you have reference id preferences.  This is needed for various integration options in the system.  
• Description - An optional field that can be used if desired. 

Scoring Setup

• Rubric -  It is required that a rubric is created prior to creating an item.  
• Item Type - Determines the scoring workflow for item responses.  More about item types  
• Resolve Zeros - Any responses with a trait that receives both a zero and no-zero during first and second scoring will be sent to resolution, regardless of other rules.
• Blank Scoring - Only for text responses
• Reliability % - This is the % of responses that will receive a 2nd Read (Reliability Read).  If you set this to 50% only 50% responses will receive a 2nd read regardless of the item type. (This does not apply to Single Read item type)
• Scoring Options: 
  • Choose Keep Score - A setting that if turned on will require a resolution reader (person applying 3rd read) to pick either the 1st read, the second read or double their read as the 2 scores that will be applied to the response. 
  • Flag Queue Scoring - Turns on the ability for a person with this permission to access a pool of responses that need their flags reviewed. 
  • Reset Scores on Review - If turned on at any point in the scoring workflow a condition code that has the type of review is applied the previous scores will be deleted. 
  • Allow Manual Reliability - If you have the item configured to be 10% reliability but a response is identified that should get a second read this feature allows you to manually move a response to reliability state (waiting for 2nd read).
