Background
By default, a participant will see a Finish button when he reaches the end of an assignment part and the end of an assignment.
In the assignment template, you can change the default configuration for the Finish button:
- You can change the label for the Finish button.
You can do this for both the button at the end of an assignment part and the button at the end of an assignment separately. This way, you can use a different label for the Finish button at the end of an assignment part (e.g. Finish part) vs. the Finish button at the end of the assignment (e.g. Submit). - You can show the Finish button without a label.
In this case, only the button icon is shown. - You can hide the Finish button at the end of a part and/or at the end of the assignment.
- When you hide the button for assignment parts, the Finish button is no longer shown at the end of a part. The participant will only see the Next button and will navigate on to the next part unnoticed. This is especially interesting in adaptive assignments where participants do not always need to know that they have moved to another part.
- When you hide the button for the assignment, the participants will not be able to finish their assignment.

- Do not use time limits on part level.
- Display the overview of unanswered questions only at the end of the assignment, not at the end of the part.
- Hide all information related to progress.
- Hide the breadcrumbs.
- Disable the possibility of going back to the portal.
Warning: It is recommended to hide the button for the assignment only if you want to finish the sessions yourself (e.g. via the monitoring module or via an API integration).
