Changing Between Quest Versions

There are System Admin functions in Quest that do not exist in the newest release such as the CUA Page and adding a new institution. You might need to go to an older software version to duplicate a student or instructor problem. Here is how...

 

Move Quest account to an older or newer version of the Quest Software

  • Login to Quest System Admin - https://quest.cns.utexas.edu/systemadmin/main?tab_0=users-a

  • Go to the Users tab, enter the UTEID, and click Find

  • At the bottom of the page is Beta Routing. Select the version that is appropriate and click Update.

    • pool 2 - Latest version of Quest software, where all the latest/greatest software patching is done, and could be incomplete in terms of system admin tools

    • pool 1 - Partial release of the latest Quest software version. High School instructors and students are often placed on this version.

    • none - Previous version of Quest software and will have all system admin tools

  • Duplicate an instructor or student problem

  • Get access to the CUA page, to add a new location, to add a new institution, etc.

 

Move your Quest account back to the newest release (pool 2)
