  Questionmark Connectors Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server Connector

Questionmark Perception Connector for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server

Overview
Portals enable enterprises to provide a single sign-on for various personalized productivity tools and information systems. Users can customize portals to present information in digestible dashboard views and easy access to the systems that are most appropriate for that user.

Questionmark SharePoint Portal Server Connector is new add-on to integrate Perception with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) using Microsoft “web parts”. Now just as users might have access to “My Calendar”, “My email” and/or “My Address Book” they can access their customized assessments from a “My Assessments” windows.



Easy Access to Assessments
Once Questionmark Perception is integrated with SPS using Questionmark SharePoint Portal Server Connector, a new menu header appears called “My Assessments.” Under “My Assessments,” the logged-in user sees a list of the quizzes, tests and surveys that have been scheduled for them. Clicking on one of the assessment links causes the assessment to start. When the assessment is completed, the results are stored within the Perception database for future analysis, and the user can be provided any appropriate feedback.

Web portals make it easy to combine Perception with other best-of-breed applications to create customized information and activity centers to suit many different types of organizations and situations. Once they have logged on to the portal, participants can move freely from one activity to another. Now learning events and assessments can be part of someone’s daily routine without having to log into a specialist system.



Questionmark SharePoint Portal Server Connector offers:
  • Easy access to Perception assessments
  • Single sign on to best-of-breed systems
  • Customized solutions to match each organization’s needs


How It Works
The new Questionmark SPS Connector can be placed in a portal page by any SPS user with web designer, administrator or content manager permission. It requires configuration by one of these users to point to a specific installation of Perception server.

When initialised, the SPS Connector calls perception.dll at the URL of the Perception server using the current SPS user’s login name as the participant name and receives a list of assessments scheduled for that participant and display a list of links to those assessments.

As a centralized data system authenticates the participant, data can be passed back to confirm the results of a quiz or test to another management system or to email results to the person or their supervisor.



System requirements:
  • Windows 2003 Server 2003
  • Sharepoint Portal Server 2003
  • Perception 3.4.3 or above.
