Not all areas of a performance job sheet allow for all types of entries.

You can also complete the Storyboard to provide the further details to the developer. Use the Setup Instructions area/tab to provide specific instructions for this test item to the instructor or proctor. For more general instructions, use the Test Instructions area of the associated Assessment.

Complete the Setup Instructions (Text, Resources, and Sheets) to describe what the instructor or proctor needs to do to set up for the test. The Setup Instructions are output as part of the Answer Sheet, prior to the Rubric.
