4 - Known Issues

Issue Key Explanation Solution or alternative actions
ESKTC-4697 While creating an assessment, the 30-minute idle timer does not properly register content library searches as activity. This result in the user getting logged out. To avoid the idle timer logout, periodically exit the subject library pop up window and return to the assessment view.
ESKTC-4666 ESKL3-1893 In some use cases, clients display the evaluation ID on results page. In some results, the evaluation ID is shown twice. There is no work around for this issue.
ESKTC-4653 When editing an assessment with typing questions, the time limit shows in the difficulty column. Sorting by difficulty does not use the time for sorting. It does use the difficulty as defined in the question. There is no "work around" for this as the sorting function is correct. The visual display, however, is awkward.
ESKTC-4641 Attempt to remove an email from the global notifications configuration that is not actually part of the configuration can take up to a minute before an appropriate error message is displayed. Email addresses that are in the configuration work properly and quickly. There is no alternate solution for the slow error return.
ESKTC-4638 Special characters used in redirect links for standard eSkill API integration will show bad request. Avoid using & % < > { } | \ ^ as part of the redirect link requested.
ESKTC-4569 ESKTC-4648 ESKL3-1754 Not all results page interactions are recognized as activity. This results in the platform triggering the idle time out of the user. This is no work around for this issue. Some activity will continue to be recognized and keep the user logged in while others will not.
ESKL3- 1711 ESKTC-4506 Simulation timer sometimes does not show correctly in results. Most often the results displayed are less than the actual time taken. There is no current work around for this show correctly in results. Most often issue. However, if timers appear incorrect, you may contact eSkill support to investigate.
ESKTC-4051 Assessment Takers issued a link for a proctored behavioral assessment are not permitted to exit and resume the same session. The assessment taker, instead, is given a new assessment upon restart. If the session must be proctored using integrated proctoring solution, Proctorio, there is no work around to avoid creating a new session. This error only applies to behavioral assessments using integrated proctoring solution with Proctorio.
