## Understanding the invigilation overview

              Terminology: Invigilation vs. Proctoring

              

In this article, we use the term **invigilation**, which corresponds to **proctoring** in US English.

To access the Invigilation Overview, navigate to **Delivery > Invigilation** tab (or **Proctoring** tab in US English).

The Invigilation Overview displays all active or published schedules to which you are assigned as an invigilator, or for which you have view-only permission. This includes future, active, and completed schedules.

### Features of the invigilation overview

The schedule list includes the following columns:

- **Title**: The schedule title. Adding an identifier code makes schedules easier to locate.
- **Code**: The unique code for the assessment.
- **Starting and Ending**: The schedule start and end times (sortable).
- **Hierarchy**: The hierarchy associated with the schedule.
- **Status**: The current status of the schedule:
  - *Not Started*: Published but not yet active.
  - *Ongoing*: Active but no attempts recorded yet.
  - *Active Sessions*: Candidates are currently in session or have started but not yet completed.
  - *Finished*: The schedule has concluded.

Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the table to customise the columns displayed. Additional columns not shown by default include:

- **Duration**: Time allocated for the attempt, including any additional time for special needs.
- **Generated**: Number of attempts made by candidates.
- **Started**: Number of candidates who have started but not yet completed the exam.
- **Finished**: Number of candidates who have completed their attempt.
- **Integration ID**: A unique technical ID for the schedule, used primarily for API integrations.
