Organizing Examinee Information
When your students log in to their exams, they will need to enter their information
so you can identify who they are. The fields they will be asked to enter can be added
in the "Deliveries" tab in the "Examinee Information" menu (NOTE: If you do not
have these fields set up, exams will launch and you will not know who took them).

Connecting to your Learning Management System (LMS)
If you are connecting to an LMS like Canvas, you will need to add a "given name,"
"family name," "full name," and email address in the "Examinee Info" fields. Then
you can map them to your LMS during integration. The integration info is found
in the "Delivery Settings" settings under the LMS bar:

Enable a URL where users can launch their own exams
Generating a "launchpad" will create a link that users can click to launch the
exam. You do this under the "Delivery Settings" tab setting here:

You may call your launchpad anything you would like. If you would like to have
your students enter a passcode to get into the exam, you will put that in the
"Passcode" field. If you would like a Proctor to enter a code that only they know,
enter that into the "Proctor Code" field (Note: The passcode will be the same for
all students and the proctor code will be the same for all proctors). If you have
more than one exam form, choose the form of the exam that you would like the
launchpad to deliver. You can also choose to deliver a random form. Each of
these options can be found in the dropdown menu. NOTE: you must click the
"Active" checkbox and "Save" button for your launchpad to be live. You can
later come back and turn off your launchpad by unclicking the "Active" checkbox.

Bulk Proctoring
You may create "Bulk Proctor" links if you’d like to proctor multiple students at
the same time. This link will allow you to see all the proctor logs for all deliveries
at the same time.
