About This Feature
Overview
Fill in the Blank is used in the Exam section of Smart Forms to configure fill-in-the-blank questions and their submission flow. It fits exam creation scenarios where you need to add short-text or subjective response questions.
Core tasks include:
- Open the fill-in-the-blank entry in the Exam section.
- Enter the editing panel for the question.
- Adjust settings and preview the result.
- Confirm and save the configuration for later publishing.
Typical scenarios include classroom quizzes, training assessments, online assignments, and internal knowledge checks. It helps creators manage fill-in-the-blank settings in one place and reduce missed setup steps before publishing. A distinct experience is that the entry is placed directly inside the Exam section, and you can preview the current setup before saving.
