[samigo-team] Question about "in progress" indicator

[Karen Tsao]

Hi Jim,

"in progress" not zero means there are assessments got started but not
submitted yet. That is, once a student clicks "Begin Assessment", the "in
progress" count will be increased by one. That count will remain like that
until he/she submits the assessment. Do you see this behavior during your
testing?

Thanks,
Karen
