Import Questions

You can create and update questions in bulk via the Question CSV Loader. You must first populate in a comma—or semicolon—separated values (CSV) file a row for each question. You can fill in a blank CSV template file downloaded from the Question CSV Loader page, or you can export existing questions from the Questions page and update them. For more information, see Export Questions to CSV File

Administrators with read-only or unrestricted access to the Exam and Question Manager feature and unrestricted access to the Data Loader feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Exam Manager Features) can import questions.

To import questions via the Question CSV Loader

Go to Manage Center > Learning > Question CSV Loader. The Question CSV Loader page opens and lists your previous imports, if any.
To see previous imports from any user, select Anyone from the Uploaded By drop-down list.
If required, download the CSV file template and enter the certification award information in the relevant fields. (Click the CSV Formatting Help link for guidance on each field.)
Click + Import CSV file.
Click Choose File to select the CSV file to upload.
If your CSV file was saved with a specific file encoding the LMS can automatically detect it, otherwise you can select it from the list.
Select the delimiter used to separate fields in your CSV file. This can be a comma or a semicolon.
If you are importing new questions, select the permissions to assign to all new questions. Select Public to give unrestricted access to users in all organizations in the LMS, or Private to give unrestricted access only to the question owner specified in the CSV file.
If you are importing new questions, select the default question status.
Click Preview. The contents of the CSV file are shown in the Data Loader page so that you can review the data before importing the file.
Click Upload to import the CSV file. The Summary Report shows how many records in the file were imported successfully and how many failed.
If any records failed to import, you can go back to the Question CSV Loader page and click the CSV Error Report link for the failed import. The error report downloads to your desktop as a copy of the imported file that includes the error message.
