Tasks
A Task is the delivery vehicle of your tests — it wraps one or more tests as ordered steps and controls who can take them, when, under what rules, and what candidates experience before and after.
Step Profile
The step's identity: its title, whether it runs as a scored Test or a consequence-free Practice, and its weight when the task computes an overall score across steps.
Step Contents
Rich-text messaging around the exam: what candidates read on the step card before starting and what they see when they finish — instructions, expectations, and next-step guidance.
Pre-Start
The gates candidates pass before the exam starts — document acknowledgment, notice confirmation, device restrictions, the automated system check, and prerequisites — and how the pre-start sequence works.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites control which candidates can access a step and when. A step can be gated by three independent mechanisms — program membership, stage assignment, and score results from other steps — and all of them must be satisfied before the step becomes available.
Availability
Control when the step can be taken: an optional start–end schedule window with explicit time zones, a check-in deadline for late arrivals, and a per-candidate attempt limit.
Anti-Cheating
Webcam Recording
Capture the candidate's camera during the exam — periodic photos or continuous video with audio — including the identity photo, what each mode enables in AI analysis, and device support.
Screen Recording
Capture what the candidate sees: periodic screenshots or continuous screen video, in strict entire-monitor mode or relaxed any-surface mode — with the browser support each choice implies.
Screen Mode & Fullscreen
Lock the exam into fullscreen with violation tracking, dialogs, and kick-out limits — or use relaxed mode's focus tracking to admit phones — plus single-monitor enforcement and its browser constraints.
AI Detections Setup
Step-by-step walkthrough for enabling and configuring AI detections in an assessment step's security settings.
Reporting
Decide what each audience sees as the step's result: the organiser-facing admin report and the candidate-facing user report, each configured independently.
Device Compatibility
Everything that determines whether a candidate can take your exam from where they are: supported device types and browsers per configuration, internet speed requirements, and the network permissions enterprise IT teams need to grant.
Device Types & Browsers
Which devices and browsers can run each exam configuration: a configuration-to-minimum-device map, a full capability matrix by browser engine and platform, and notes on the platform limits behind each restriction.
Internet Connection
Recommended download and upload speeds per exam configuration, what the exam actually uploads (monitoring photos, video chunks, recorded answers), and why connection stability matters more than peak speed.
Network Access Permissions
What enterprise IT teams must allow through firewalls, proxies, and content filters so candidates on corporate networks can take TestInvite exams: the domain allowlist, protocol notes, and common pitfalls like SSL inspection and blocked WebSockets.
Certification
Attach one or more certificates to a step so candidates who complete it and meet each certificate's conditions receive their certificate automatically in their user report.
Automated Emails
Configure step-triggered emails: completion notifications to your team with a default or fully customized template, and delivery rules for candidate-facing messages.
Access & Entry
Candidate Settings
Define what your task knows about each candidate: structured metadata (tags, stages, programs) and free-form custom properties — the data that powers filtering, audiences, prerequisites, and reports.
Pages & Experience
Everything candidates see around the assessment — the front page, login page, and assessment page — plus the task-wide language, branding, and translation settings that frame them all.
Assessment Page
The assessment page wraps the candidate's workspace once they're inside the task — a hero image, a heading with title and subtitle, and rich-text instructions that stay available throughout the assessment.
Branding
Task branding controls the logo, background, and footer shown across all of the task's candidate pages — overriding organization defaults so each task can carry its own visual identity.
Language & Translations
The task's language sets the candidate-facing interface language, and translation settings optionally let candidates view everything — even test content — in other languages via Google Translate.
Live Chat
Open a live message line between candidates and your team — offered on the login page (with a pre-chat contact form and temporary-chat option), in the workspace, and inside the test, and answered from the task or live from the Exam Monitor.
Advanced
The task's technical corner: LMS/website integration around the login URL, exporting the full task configuration as JSON, and debug views for support.
Email Templates
Manage every email the task sends: system default templates with quick subject/text/button overrides, fully designed custom templates with per-recipient placeholders, per-kind defaults, real-candidate previews, and the email provider setting.
Navigating Test Sessions
The sessions table lists every test session of the task — live-updating as candidates work — with per-column customization across candidate, reporting, integrity, monitoring, and device data, plus filters to find any session fast.
Results
Review one session's outcome: the candidate summary, score breakdowns by section, page, dimension, and tag, and the answer panels where open-ended responses are evaluated.
Session Details
The forensic view of one session: overview facts (timing, attempts, device, IP, pre-start gates), the complete event log timeline, and the monitoring recordings tab.
Documents
All downloadable outputs of a session in one place: answer sheet, exam statement, candidate-uploaded pre-start documents, the certificate, and the user report.
Session Actions
Intervene in sessions after creation — end a running session, accept or ignore a result, reinstate for a re-attempt — and manage AI Detections analysis in bulk or per session.
End Test Session
End Test Session force-completes a session that is still running — the candidate's answers so far are finalized and scored as if they had submitted, and the candidate can no longer continue.
Ignore & Accept Results
Ignore Result marks a completed session's result as invalid without deleting anything — it drops out of consideration but stays fully reviewable — and Accept Result restores it to valid at any time.
Recalculate Result
Recalculate Result recomputes a completed session's scores from its stored answers — the fix when a result is missing or when evaluations landed after the session completed.
Reinstate a Session
Reinstating hands a completed session back to the candidate as a resumed attempt — you control exactly where they resume and how much time remains per test, section, and page, with all earlier answers preserved.
Enable AI Detections
Completed sessions with webcam recordings can have AI Detections enabled retroactively — you see the eligible count, credit cost, and balance before confirming, and are never charged for sessions that couldn't be enabled.
Re-run AI Detections
Sessions that already have AI Detections can be re-analyzed free of charge — optionally with new detection settings — and re-runs never destroy review work: approved, declined, and manual findings all survive.
Exporting Sessions
The export manager turns the task's sessions into a downloadable dataset — three report types (full, Q&A, Q&A matrix), a column picker down to per-question detail, CSV or HTML output, and saved column selections for repeat exports.
Live Proctoring
Supervise an exam in real time with the Exam Monitor: a live candidate roster, live webcam and screen feeds, a real-time event stream, in-exam chat, and on-the-spot interventions like flagging, ending, or reinstating a session.
Post Proctoring
Review the proctoring of an entire exam in one sitting: synchronized playback of all candidates side by side, a media wall with per-candidate verdicts and detection edits, bulk flagging and finalization, and one-click access to each candidate's full session review.
Session Proctoring
The deepest review surface: inspect one candidate's full captured session, verify AI findings against their evidence, approve or decline each one, add manual flags, and finalize the session's integrity verdict with a complete audit trail.
AI Proctoring Analysis
How AI Detections analyzes proctoring material, what each detection means (including reference-photo identity verification), how the traffic-light verdict is computed, and when to use it.
