Task Settings

Task-level configuration: how candidates get in (access, availability, payment, network rules), what profile data is collected, how candidate-facing pages look, and how the task emails and chats with candidates.

Updated 2026/07/16

Task settings govern everything about the task that isn't a specific step: how candidates get in, what information is collected about them, what the candidate-facing pages look like, and how the task communicates. Where step settings answer “how does this exam run?”, task settings answer “how does this assessment operate?”.

  • Access & Entry — the access method (self-registration, pre-registered, internal users), the registration form, availability window, optional payment, and network restrictions.
  • Participant Profile — which candidate properties exist: classification parameters and custom properties collected or assigned per candidate.
  • Web Pages — the public front page, the login page, and the thank-you page candidates see around the assessment.
  • Email Templates — the invitation, reminder, and custom emails the task sends to candidates.
  • Live Chat — the live message channel between candidates and your team.
  • Advanced — the long tail of behavioral switches for special cases.
Settings here apply to the whole task and all its steps. If a rule should differ per exam part — timing, security, attempts — it belongs on the step, not here.
