Manager overview

Manager is the exam-administration workspace. It connects an exported exam with examinee records, paper assignments, delivery settings, monitoring, and results.

Open Manager

Sign in, open Home, and select Manager in the Apps Gallery. Regular, Administrator, and Root users can open Manager, but the exams and examinees they can access may be limited by Circles.

Main workspace

The Manager workspace with the Exams tab selected

Manager has three resource tabs:

  • Exams lists imported assessments.
  • Examinees lists candidates who can be mapped to exams.
  • Groups lists reusable collections of examinees.

Select an item in the left panel to open its details and available actions. The small toolbar above each list adds a new record, switches to a table view, and refreshes from the server. Refresh whenever another user may have changed data.

The File menu contains the four creation commands, and they are the same whichever tab you are on:

Exams

An exam selected, with its settings and mapped examinees

An exam record shows its title, code and version, the link examinees use, visibility, whether results are shown after the exam, whether live proctoring and eFace ID preverification are enabled, the time it was added, the imported file size, and the paper flow. Exam actions can include:

  • map examinees or Groups;
  • open the exam link;
  • send email to mapped examinees;
  • toggle visibility or result display;
  • configure live proctoring and identity verification;
  • start, stop, or monitor an eligible exam;
  • manage permissions and delivery settings; and
  • view results or generate reports.

Available actions depend on the exam type, account role, plan, and current exam state.

Examinees

An examinee selected, with mapped exams and Group membership

An examinee record stores a unique code or ID, passcode, name, gender, and optional details such as email, phone number, date of birth, and photograph. Below the details are two panels: the exams this person is mapped to, and the Groups they belong to. From here you can manage Group membership, map an exam and papers, review mapping details, and view a completed result.

Groups

A Group selected, listing its members

A Group is an operational collection of examinees, such as a class, cohort, or exam sitting. Mapping a Group to an exam applies the assignment to the Group's current members who are not already mapped.

Groups are different from Circles: Groups make bulk examinee work easier; Circles control staff access.

Safe preparation practices

  • Keep an exam invisible until content, assignments, and settings are verified.
  • Use unique examinee codes and a secure channel for passcodes.
  • Check the time zone whenever an assignment includes a start time.
  • Test with fictional or approved test data.
  • Refresh before acting on connection status or results.
  • Treat Clear Result, delete, and key-regeneration actions as sensitive.

Next steps

If you already have a Designer export, continue with Import exams. If the exam is present, go to Add and import examinees.
