Inspera Assessment offers the option to limit invigilators to specific buildings and rooms, enhancing test management, especially for large-scale exams. 

This article explains how to set up room restrictions for invigilators, clarifies the invigilator's experience when assigned to a room, and outlines important limitations including naming conventions.

Understanding the feature

This feature allows you to assign invigilators to oversee only the candidates located in specific rooms during a test. The prerequisite for this feature is that location information must be added to candidates beforehand. Once candidate location information is added, Planners can then restrict invigilators to particular rooms within the contributor list for a test.

How to set up Room Restriction for Invigilators

1. Open the contributor list in the test setup.

2. For the relevant invigilators, add the exact name of the room to which you want to limit them. 

   

   Important to note:

   • The room name you enter must be identical to the name of the room that has been added as location information to the candidates. This is case-sensitive.
   • This field for room restriction will not be visible if the invigilator has additional roles on the test.

Invigilator experience

As an Invigilator assigned to a room, your access to the candidate list is contextual to the specific test and room assignment.

• You must open the test and the candidate list directly from the widget on the test front page for that particular test.
• If you are assigned as an Invigilator with room restriction on several different tests, you must open the candidate list separately from each of these tests.

Room naming best practice

When limiting Invigilators to a room, it is strongly advised to name the room using numbers or words with no whitespaces and no special characters.
