Overview:
The Subject Tab Manager is a tool that ESGI District and School Administrators can use in order to create, edit, and share School/District Managed Subject Tabs which can be used by your entire school or district. In this article, you will learn how to use the Subject Tab Manager in order to create and edit your own School/District Managed Subject Tabs as well as how to share and unshare them with the teachers and specialists within your school or district.
To Create a Subject Tab:

2. Select District (or S for School admins) located at the top of the Subject Tab Manager panel.
3. Click on the "Add Subject Tab button, which is indicated by a '+'. Ensure that the Active option is selected and enter the desired name for your subject tab in the field to the right of the Active option.
4. Select the Retest Modes Option, then select from the available options of Retest Modes (See Image 1). You will also have the option to utilize the functionality for Shuffling Questions, should you wish to do so.

6A. When the Publish Period dropdown is selected, you have the ability to choose from three options: Period, Date Range, or Indefinitely.
