Test Settings

The Program Configurations Test Settings module provides the capability to select, edit, or view Scores, LICs, Statistics Tags and related options linked to Analysis Templates assigned to a program and test. The combination of what is configured in the Analysis Template and Test Settings is what drives each analysis in a request.

To navigate to the Test Settings module, from the Main Navigation toolbar select Configurations and then Test Settings.

All PAR users with access to the program will be able to view Test Settings
Super Admins and PAR Admins for the program are able to create/edit Test Settings

Opening Test Settings will display a list of Test codes and Test Names (sorted in ascending Test Code order) for the program selected in Global Navigation.

Test and Name columns are both able to be sorted and filtered.
An Actions column will also be displayed for Super Admins and PAR Admins of the program selected in Global Navigation.

NOTE: If a program has a new test which has not been set up in PARcore yet, PAR staff will need to enter a ServiceNow ticket to request PARcore Support to add the test in PARcore.
