    When creating a Question Set you will see a UI prompting you to select a template. This UI is only intended for tenants that have enabled the use of this feature. It is currently being shown to all users. You can still create Question Sets like you otherwise would by not selecting a template and clicking the Create Question Set button at the bottom. A fix will be released within the next few days to ensure this UI is only shown to tenants with this feature enabled.

This still does not affect the submissions

    The error message has been removed, and the issue is now resolved. Note: For candidates who entered a test before the issue was resolved, they would still get the error when they go to dashboard. The next time they enter a test, the fix will take effect for them as well.

    We are currently experiencing an issue causing intermittent delays in operations in Inspera Assessment. Users might also experience getting 500 errors when trying to do actions in Inspera. The impact of the incident currently includes: -- Candidate actions in monitor may be affected. This includes setting extra time and open for resubmission. Extra time and resubmission will be available for the candidates, but the extra time will not show as expected in Monitor until the incident is resolved. -- Delays when adding candidates to tests (including from external systems). The added candidates might not show up in the candidate list, but will as soon as the incident is resolved. We are investigating the issue and will update status page as soon as we have more information.

    We have identified an issue where the login page have been reverted to the old one. The same also applies to the new candidate dashboard, and all candidates will be sent to the old dashboard upon login. The issue does not affect the users ability to log in, and both student and admin users should be able to log in to Inspera as usual. As the features Multiple Attempts and Assessment Path are dependent on the new candidate dashboard, candidates will not be able to take such tests during the incident. We are treating the issue with the highest priority and will update status page as soon as we have more information.

    Due to an issue with captions for the language pack “Norsk - Bokmål” (Norwegian) it is currently not possible to change the Start and End time on tests if using that language pack in the UI. The time will automatically change to 20.24 if one tries to modify the time. We are working on a fix for this issue and will have it deployed as soon as possible. The workaround is to change the Language Pack to another language and change the Start and End time as needed. After doing the modifications, you can then safely change back to “Norsk - Bokmål” as long as you don’t then modify the times again.
