This article explains how to create a testing location.
About testing locations
Creating a testing location facilitates scheduling tests. Combined with the testing sessions feature, it allows the effective creation of tests for different user groups at different locations.
Each location can be a physical location or a virtual room. It has a predefined time zone and assigned proctors who supervise the test.
If you select the location when scheduling a testing session, note that all settings of testing location will be applied to the testing session, particularly:
- The proctors assigned to the location automatically become the proctors of that testing session.
- The time zone of the location automatically becomes the session time zone.

Assigning proctors to a testing location
To assign proctors to the testing location, click the “Assign proctors” button during creating or editing a location.
A pop-up window will appear, where you should:

When a created location is assigned to a testing session, the proctors for that location will automatically become the session proctors as well.
