Generating and Using a Monitoring Code

Before using the Test Monitoring application, you must create your participants and test sessions in the DRC INSIGHT Portal.

To generate and use a Monitoring Code, do the following: 

1. Log in to your state’s DRC INSIGHT Portal site. 
2. Select Test Monitoring from the My Applications menu. 
3. The Test Monitoring Dashboard is displayed.
   • If there is not an active Monitoring Code, one will be automatically generated that will expire at the end of the day.
   •  If there is an active Monitoring Code, that code will be displayed along with its expiration date and the Test Monitoring Dashboard will display the status of any participant that used the code
4. To generate a new code, click Generate New Code, and select an expiration date.    
5. Click Generate. The expiration date now displays next to the Monitoring Code in the Test Monitoring Dashboard. 
   Note: 

• This will cause the existing code to expire and will display a warning that any existing participants attached to the code will be removed from the dashboard. Participants can still continue testing, but the Test Administrator will not be able to see their status in the Test Monitoring Dashboard.
• Codes will expire at 11:59 p.m. on the expiration date. 

6. Distribute the Monitoring Code to your participants. 
7. After logging in to the test, participants enter the Monitoring Code in the Enter Monitoring Code field on the Student Verification page and then click Save Code. 
8. The participant clicks Continue. 

Result

Once the participant clicks Continue, what happens next depends upon the configuration of your test administration: 

• If Restricted Access is not set, the participant will begin testing.
• If Restricted Access is set, the participant’s Status will show Waiting on the Test Monitoring Dashboard and the participant will be taken to the Waiting Room page. The Test Administrator can admit participants one at a time, select multiple participants to admit or admit all the participants into the test.
