Live View
This article shows you how to control logistics during a live assessment.
What Is Live View?
Live View gives instructors visibility into what is happening during an assessment in real-time. Within Live View, you can also force submit a student's assessment, add additional time, or re-open a student's previously submitted exam.
Accessing Live View
Click Assessments in the left menu
Click the desired assessment
Click Live View in the left menu
Tab Views
There are threes sections in Live View:
This tab displays which students have started, but not submitted their assessment.
Status Icons
- The student is online and in the assessment
- The student is either offline or has left the assessment
Live connection is accurate for ~95-99% of users. The remaining 1-5% may have settings or configurations on their machines that prevent live connection status from being monitored reliably.
On Hover
The following diagnostic information is available while hovering on the status icon:

Live Control
There are two ways to access Live View controls:
Click on the student name
Select multiple students and click Bulk Actions
Pause/Unpause
Pausing an assessment will:
Conceal the assessment from the student
Stop the student's countdown timer
Save and lock the student's progress
Unpausing an assessment will:
Allow a student to continue where they left off
Automatically extend the availability window
Pausing is very effective during a fire drill. Simply select all students by clicking the checkbox in the table header, select pause and click save.
Add Time
Adding time to an assessment will:
Be recorded as extra time
Extend the availability window automatically
Force Submit
Forcing a submission will:
End the countdown timer
Save and submit the student's progress
Notify the student
Reopen Attempt
After an assessment has been submitted, it can be reopened in the Submitted tab of Live View. You can specify the time limit for the reopened attempt and the due date. The timer will begin when the student enters their assessment.
EXAMIND records each Take of an attempt in the Live View. Reopening an attempt creates a subsequent take, as seen below.

Bulk Actions
You can perform any of the above actions in bulk by selecting the checkboxes and clicking Bulk Actions.
