Centralized Test Settings

Overview

You can easily configure default test settings for your entire organization on one Centralized Test Settings page. This lets you standardize test experiences company-wide by establishing common rules upfront. Setting these defaults once saves you time compared to configuring each test individually. It also ensures consistency across all tests.

Read Test Settings and Configuration to learn more.

Prerequisites:

• You must have a Company Admin license to access Centralized Test Settings. 

Accessing Centralized Test Settings

• Go to your profile icon and click Settings.

• In the left menu, click Test Settings. Here, you can manage defaults.

Applying Centralized Settings

As a company admin, you can control test settings in two ways:

Change Default Settings

• Toggle switches turn settings on/off as defaults for new tests.
• These defaults can still be overridden at the test level by users.

Lock Default Settings

• Click the lock icon to enforce values, preventing overrides by other users.
• Locked settings apply to all tests and cannot be changed by anyone.

 

Note: Unlocked defaults will not affect existing tests retroactively. Updates to centralized defaults only impact newly created tests going forward. When you lock a default setting it applies to every test in your organization.

Test Homepage Settings

Customize the test homepage with consistent instructions, disclaimers, and mandatory candidate information fields. Selected fields will appear in the candidate confirmation form they fill out before attempting a test. 

You can also add custom fields as needed.

Test Integrity Settings

Control your organization's proctoring settings here. For example, making Image Proctoring a default test setting applies to all your organization's tests.

The available proctoring settings are:

Many proctoring settings are interdependent, meaning the values of certain settings affect or are affected by other settings. The below aims to clarify these interdependencies and how each setting influences the others.

AI Plagiarism Dependency on Tab Proctoring and Copy Paste Tracking

To enable AI Plagiarism Detection, ensure that both Copy Paste Tracking and Tab Proctoring are enabled. These two settings are interdependent and required for the AI Plagiarism Detection feature to function properly.

When AI Plagiarism is enabled, a dialog will appear stating that Copy Paste Tracking and Tab Proctoring must be turned on to use the AI Plagiarism Detection feature.

Photo Identification and Image Proctoring Interdependency

You cannot enable both Photo Identification and Image Proctoring settings on the same test. These two features are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together for a single test or assessment.  

The below table shows the conditions to use both Photo Identification and Image Proctoring
