This session creates, updates, and deletes AssessmentEntries in bulk. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create an AssessmentEntry, an AssessmentEntryForm is requested using getAssessmentEntryFormsForCreate() specifying the desired assessment, student, and record Types or none if no record Types are needed. Each of the returned AssessmentEntryForms will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once an AssessmentEntryForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each AssessmentEntryForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

The AssessmentEntryForms returned from getAssessmentEntryFormsForCreate() may be linked to the originating request through the peer Ids of the AssessmentEntryForm. In the case where there may be duplicates, any AssessmentEntryForm of the same peer Ids may be used for a create operation.

Once a batch of AssessmentEntryForms are submitted for create, a CreateResponse is returned for each AssessmentEntryForm, although the ordering is not defined. Only errors that pertain to the entire create operation are returned from createAssessmentEntries(), errors specific to an individual AssessmentEntryForm are indicated in the corresponding CreateResponse. CreateResponses may be linked to the originating AssessmentEntryForm through the AssessmentEntryForm Id .

For updates, AssessmentEntryForms are requested to the AssessmentEntry Id that is to be updated using getAssessmentEntryFormsForUpdate() where the reference Id in the AssessmentEntryForm may be used to link the request. Similarly, the AssessmentEntryForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The AssessmentEntryForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

Once a batch of AssessmentEntryForms are submitted for update, an UpdateResponse is returned for each AssessmentEntryForm, although the ordering is not defined. Only errors that pertain to the entire update operation are returned from updateAssessmentEntries(), errors specific to an individual AssessmentEntryForm are indicated in the corresponding UpdateResponse. UpdateResponses may be linked to the originating AssessmentEntryForm through the AssessmentEntryForm Id.

The delete operations delete AssessmentEntries in bulk. To unmap an AssessmentEntry from the current CourseCatalog, the AssessmentEntryCourseCatalogAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the AssessmentEntry itself thus removing it from all known CourseCatalog catalogs. Bulk delete operations return the results in DeleteResponses.
