  The X icon allows the user to remove the question from the system.  

NOTE: Clicking the X icon will remove the question from the set-up page as well as from the student record.  So, all information connected to this question will be lost.  It is recommended that a question not be deleted but rather it be hidden (edit the question to see this option) so the data can remain attached to the Class's file. 


Below the table, on the right-hand side, there is a 'Hide Inactive' checkbox which is checked upon logging into the system. If a questions has been made to be inactive, then the question will not show in this list unless this checkbox is unchecked.  Additionally, the question is highlighted in pink to make it easy to see which questions are active or inactive.
