1. From the navigation bar, click Content>Authoring>Checklists.

   The Checklists page opens.

   

   The Checklists page shows all the checklists available in SilkRoad Learning. Checklist name, reference number, and description are listed. From this page, you can:

   If the checklist is already assigned to a student and is in progress, a message alerts you that saving modifications will increment the revision number. The changes do not affect existing, in-progress checklist records. Click Continue.

   The Checklist Authoring page opens.

   

   On the Checklist Authoring page, you select the elements (content) to include on a checklist. This page has two primary sections:

   • Checklist Builder panel
   • Content panel

   Checklist Builder panel

   The Checklist Builder (left panel) contains all the elements that can be added to the checklist. The following table shows supported elements.

   Element type	Description
   Header	Information that precedes check boxes or text in a checklist. A header contains a header title and description.
   Checkbox	An element that can be checked when completed. It contains a check box, task title, and a description. It can be set to be required or not. A checkbox element also contains a comments box, which can be hidden. A comment can be set to be required or not.
   Text	An element in which you can add text description. It can be set to be required or not. A text element contains a task title and a comments box, which can be hidden. A comment can be set to be required or not.

   There is also a Preview button, which shows what the checklist looks like when it is pushed to students.

   Content panel

   

   The Content panel (right panel) shows checklist content. The checklist title and description appear at the top followed by checklist elements.

   Adding and arranging content

   You add and arrange content by dragging and dropping elements. Find an element in the Checklist Builder panel, and drag it to the Content panel. After that, add text and make any necessary edits, and then arrange appropriately within the checklist.

   Setting element properties (including making elements required)

   You can set element properties, including making elements required, by clicking the options icon and selecting Edit Properties.

   

   On the Task Properties pop-up, select options:

   • Required: If this box is checked, an element must be completed before the checklist can be submitted. A required element is denoted by a red asterisk.
   • Show comment: If this box is checked, comment box for the element appears on the checklist.
   • Comment Required: If this box is checked, a comment must be entered for the element on the checklist before it can be submitted.
3. Change the content as appropriate.
4. When satisfied with content changes that you made, click Save.
