WatuPRO: Quick Getting Started Guide

Here is how to start really quick with WatuPRO:

  1. Go to Create new quiz page:create-exam
  2. You can skip filling almost everything – just entering quiz name is enough. However you may want to check at least the “Final page / Quiz output” tab. It gives you full control over what the user sees when they submit the quiz. Maybe there is something you want to add or remove there:
    final-screen
  3. Once the test is saved you’ll be taken to a page to create questions. Please add some, a test makes no sense without any questions.
  4. If you want to create grades, you can do this after the quiz is saved and questions created by clicking on the “Grades” link for the new quiz:show-hide-grade
  5. Go back to edit the quiz. Check the checkbox shown below to have the quiz automatically published when you save it:
    auto-publishAlternatively you can copy the quiz shortcode from the “Quizzes” page and publish it yourself in a post, page, custom post type, etc.
  6. You can view who submitted your new quiz by clicking on the hyperlinked number under the “View Results” column. You will see all the details, and you can filter through them, import, export them, etc.taken
  7. That’s it! Feel free to create quiz categories and question categories, certificates, and user groups.

WatuPRO 3.3

This version of WatuPRO comes shortly after the last one as we wanted to address several important issues.

So here is what’s new:

  • Admin can now see the student’s dashboard along with their exams and reports (in Reporting module)
  • Admin can filter questions by category when managing them
  • Manage questions category page that lets you delete and edit the existing categories
  • You can now allow other roles – Editors, Authors and Contributors – to create and edit quizzes. Thus you can delegate the work of making the quizzes to someone else without heading them your main admin login.
  • A new shortcode lets you display user’s answers on the final screen. This is an improvement compared to using the “Display answers” option because it lets you choose a place and text that will go before the answers.
  • You can now define a different content to be sent by email than the content shown on-screen after taking the test. This is useful if you want to force users to check their email or dashboard instead of showing them the results right on the screen.
  • Improved localization – we’ve had some strings in the javascript in the last .pot file. Now everything is translated.

That’s it for now! Expect a guide on translation in a day or two, as we often get questions about this.

As usual the upgrade is free if you have bought less than 1 year ago, otherwise upgrading is just 40% of the regular price and starts another 1 year cycle of free upgrades and support.
