Send message to Candidates

Available for Invigilators, Chief Invigilators and Planner.

Send an instant message to one or several candidates. The message immediately appears on the candidate’s screen if the candidate is in progress. Use the search function image-0.png or Filters image-1.png to find a specific group of candidates

  • A maximum 1500 candidates can receive a message in one sending.

  • The message will only be sent once, and we can currently not offer receipts of received or read messages to the person who sent the message.

  • A log entry in the tenant's dashboard in Recent events will display who sent the message, when it was sent, the contents of the message, and which candidates the message was sent to.

  • Messages will remain in the candidate's message center, across all tests, and a tip is to mention the specific test the message relates to, to avoid later confusion. The test name is not automatically added to the message, but it is time stamped. 
Note: Candidates must be online and in progress to receive messages instantly. If a message is sent when the candidate is not online, the message will be delivered when they enter the dashboard.
