Accessing test results

Retrieving and filtering test sessions

Created by Mustafa Ekim / January, 2023

To access the test results, go to the "Test sessions" panel in the Task Manager and use the search panel to load the relevant results. When you click the Next button, the system will fetch a set of test sessions that meet the specified criteria.

The search panel provides the option to switch between two modes.

The filter options available in the search panel

The search panel has two modes. The first mode enables you to load multiple test sessions by applying filters, while the second mode allows you to find a specific test session by providing identifying information such as session ID, candidate name, or invitation code.

In the first mode, you can filter test sessions based on several criteria, including

  • the date range of the test session
    • candidate group
      • candidate labels
        • specific tests within an assessment
          • the status of the test session
            • termination reason
              • proctoring flag and stage

                In the second mode, you can load test sessions by providing identifying information such as

                • the candidate's display name
                  • email
                    • invitation code
                      • login credentials
                        • unique ID
                          • session ID.

                            Test results are retrieved in batches

                            You can retrieve a limited number of test sessions at a time, based on the specified batch size. If additional test sessions exist, you can use the available Next button to fetch them in subsequent batches.

                            By adjusting the batch size, you can specify the number of test results that will be fetched in each load, based on the given criteria.

                            After all test results matching your search criteria have been loaded, the Next button will be deactivated.

                            The gray dots indicate the number of batches that have been loaded.

                            Keeping previous batches in memory

                            Retaining all test sessions in memory enables you to perform local searches on test sessions and export the associated data to your computer. If you do not retain the previously loaded batches, you will only have access to the test results that were loaded during your most recent retrieval.

                            By enabling the 'Keep previous batches' option, you can retain the test results that have already been loaded and add to the total number of loaded test results with each subsequent batch that is fetched. This enables the incremental increase of the total number of loaded test results over time.

                            Test sessions were fetched twice, with a batch size of 10, resulting in the loading of a total of 13 test sessions, which are now displayed in the table.

                            Navigating the loaded test sessions

                            Once all the test sessions have been loaded, you can navigate through them using the pagination controls provided in the table below. 

                            The table offers pagination buttons and allows for the modification of the number of test sessions displayed per page.

                            Performing local searches on the loaded test sessions

                            You can enter a search keyword in the input field located in the top right corner of the table. The table will then search all test sessions for matches with the keyword and filter the results to display only those that match. You can search for test sessions using various attributes, including the candidate's name, test name, group, candidate labels and tags, and other related criteria.

                            Viewing options

                            You can choose from three different viewing options for test sessions. In the simple view, you can see key details such as the date, participant's name, candidate group, and current status. The extended view provides additional information, while the detailed view offers the most comprehensive information about the test session.

                            Displaying the norm data

                            To compare each test session's results against a specified norm, simply toggle the 'Norm' switch.

                            Accessing the report of a test session

                            To access the report of a test session, go to the table where test sessions are listed and check the 'Score' column. Click on the button displaying the overall score of the test session. This will open a small window with brief information. Click on the 'Report' button within this window to access the full report.

                            Exporting test sessions data

                            To export loaded test sessions, click the Export button located at the top of the table. By default, the system will export all loaded test sessions. However, if you prefer to export only selected test sessions, you can choose the desired test sessions and click the Export button, and only those selected sessions will be exported.
