Vidya, Thanks for posting here. We got your support request & are able to duplicate what you're talking about. I'm looking into a fix as we speak I will respond to you via our support system as soon as I know more.

Posting this here in the hope that either Bryan or Marcos or anybody who uses Haiku can help me. This is URGENT!

My students are taking their final exam tomorrow and some of them are trying to view past quizzes as part of their review, but are unable to view any of the quizzes I've given this semester. All quizzes are now officially closed, so they should be able to go in and view them, so we can't tell if it's an issue with Haiku or something else.

If they or I are missing any step in the process we would love to know. Any assistance to resolve this issue at the earliest would have my eternal gratitude as well.

Hi Vidya, sounds like you did find a valid work-around. If an Exam is only "assigned" to one section, it will only show up in the gradebook for that one section. The way you set things up initially is the best way to do things, though. Unfortunately, as a teacher, you can't currently see each separate due date in the listing of Exams. You will always be able to see the separate due dates (to put your mind at ease) if you Edit an Exam. We recognize that the way we currently display dates can lead to confusion & I've created a new "suggestion" in our feedback system so that you can keep tabs on our progress as we find a better way to display this information: http://feedback.haikuls.com/pages/72-haiku-lms/suggestions/316097

Thanks for the question & we hope you continue to enjoy Haiku LMS!

So I got around my issue below my creating another Exam for the second section, copying the questions over from the first one and then publishing it with the desired date/time setting. Interestingly enough, in the grade book, it shows up as only one column entry for each section (I was afraid I was going to have two grade book entries, one for each section).

Is there a better/more efficient way to do this?

Trying to figure out how to deploy the same quiz to two different sections in a class on two different dates. Although Settings allows me to specify different dates/starting times for each section, it only displays the later date on the assigned page. Not sure how to get around that.

Is there any documentation on how the gradebook performs its calculations for the published subtotal values to display the percentage? Especially if categories are weighted?

A table is a great idea. You can copy/paste from a Word document but sometimes you get more than you really want.
Inserting pictures is the biggest suggestion I continue to hear. To put a picture/clip art right in the Content Block would be super.

Just a couple of suggestions that would be useful for us for adding text on a page:
1.) It would be helpful to be able to add a table in the text box too.
2.) Could you add a feature whereby we could "clone" a Content Block? This would come in handy and save time formatting things to look the same.
Haiku is always growing and improving--we appreciate your willingness to listen to our suggestions! :-)
