The Item Bank Health Check (IBHC) uses guidelines to perform jobs. By default, a set of guidelines is created by Learnosity for immediate use.

You can also create your own custom guidelines to meet your organization’s specific needs. Currently, custom guidelines can be created for Bias check and Representation report job types.
