What are Assessment Profiles?
These are what you use to tell VISION how to create and grade a test (or whether there will be one). Assessment profiles can only be created in VISION Learning Station, but they are added to a VISION Developer training unit through the VISION Developer Module. In the assessment profile, you choose how questions will be selected, how they will be graded, and what the passing score will be. When a learner is ready for a test, VISION will use those criteria to build a test for that learner and then to pass or fail the learner based on their answers and your passing score.
The Assessment Profile Process
The assessment profile process is straight forward. While the profile has many options to chose from, you only need to create it and then assign it to a training unit.
1.Create an assessment profile and approve it.
2.Attach it to a training unit using the VISION Developer Module.

Notification
This is the email address that is displayed as the "Notification" email. Additionally, you will be able to have exam results sent to this email address.
Approved
Whether or not this assessment has been "approved" and can be used in course events. Once an assessment is approved it can no longer be edited, but if it needs to be changed a new version of it can be created.
Other Versions
Assessment Profiles cannot be edited once they are approved. Instead, you can make a new version of the assessment and edit it. If the assessment does not have other versions, "None" will be displayed here. If it does, an "Other Versions" button will appear, and you can click it to see a list of versions of this assessment.
The information listed here is the same as that listed above except for a check mark icon that identifies the newest version. If the icon is green, the newest version is approved. If it is red, the newest version is not yet approved.
