 At Administration > Repository and Objects > Test and Assessment > Settings it is possible to select which 'Unique user criteria' is used in test imports/exports. The selected type of personal data will be included in export type 'XML incl. Participants Results' of a test for each account. Options are: usr_id, login, email, matriculation, ext_account. This personal data is required to match accounts results when importing an export file at the same or another platform.
 
+When importing such an export file, the accounts are looked up by the 'Unique user criteria' configured at the importing platform. Test attempts of accounts which cannot be matched are not discarded but assigned to the anonymous account. The personal data contained in the export file for those accounts is therefore imported without being linked to an account of the importing platform.

 At Administration > Repository and Objects > Test and Assessment > Log Data accounts with 'Edit Settings' permission can activate the History-tab via the checkbox 'Activate Test and Assessment Logging'. Additionally the setting 'Log IP' allows for logging the IP-adress of participants along with the interactions as well as specific settings of said test during the interaction.
 The purpose of both options is to store important events and information for configuring and performing tests. This gives the possibility to check those information in case of issues or concerns after performing tests.

+6. Work on Project Revision of Import/Export of the T&A. Export and import of Test and Question Pool have been rebuilt upon a normalized XML format in ILIAS 12. The QTI based export and the Excel export of questions are deprecated, import of files created with previous ILIAS versions is covered by dedicated legacy importers. Still open are the revision of the Archive file and the removal of the deprecated legacy code.
 7. Feasibility study Test in Learning sequence - Could the LS uses the actual Exam View (since ILIAS9 - General Kiosk Mode)
 8. Authorized Saving of Participant Input - Problems e.g. in the question list, see [Mantis 44211](https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=44211). In order to address the problem, we need a concept for the entire test run at the technical level and an analysis of the current situation. From this, we want to derive an operating concept for controlling the test run. By redesigning the test run, we know where we want to go and can at least mitigate the problems in existing ILIAS versions with usability fixes.
