Targeted script allocation

Targeted script allocation allows you to temporarily focus the marking queue on a particular combination of questions and assessment events. Once Markers have exhausted the scripts available against these filters, they will receive a message that there are no more scripts to mark.

Important

Targeted script allocation is only available if the current marking project has the Mark all questions as though they are one setting enabled. If this is enabled, Markers will not be able to select the questions they are marking — there will only be a Mark More! action for them, where the system will randomly allocate scripts to mark from any of the questions set in targeted script allocation.
