Cheat indicator via IP addresses

The Candidate Results export includes a column showing which IP addresses were used per candidate.

Candidates using the same IP address as others, or using multiple IP addresses in one attempt, may indicate academic misconduct.

To check this, export a candidate report (Reports → Candidate Results → Export to Excel) and review the IP address column.

IP address indicator active from 21-12-2021

The IP address cheat indicator was introduced in the 20211221 release and does not apply retroactively.

Candidate results including registration form data

Similar to Candidate Results but also includes the candidate's responses to the registration form.

Results including seed items

Provides the option to include seed item data in the export (not selected by default).

Note: not all answer data may be suitable for export to Excel

Long essay answers or content using the WYSIWYG editor (images, tables) will appear as [image] and [table] in Excel. Always do a trial run to verify the export meets your needs.
