  4. Click 'Choose' to select your group and finish by clicking on the magnifying glass button.

When you've added the candidates an overview will be listed by Name and User ID.

  1. If you wish to remove a candidate from the list, use the tick-box next to the candidate’s name then click the ‘Remove Candidate’ button.
  2. If ‘Use PIN’ option has been set (under ‘Options’) the ‘Generate PIN code’ button will appear. You will see the PIN required to unlock the assessment listed next to each candidate. Note that the ‘PIN’ is the same for all candidates. This PIN will usually be distributed by the Invigilator at the start of the exam. Each candidate of course will have his/her own username and password.
  3. You may wish to print the attendance list for your records and for use on the day of the assessment – simply click the ‘Print’ button to do so.
About adding and deleting Candidates to your schedules

Cirrus enables you to to add candidates to schedules at any time.
  • You can add/remove test takers without de-activating the schedule
  • You can add candidates even when the exam window has started
  • You can add to an ongoing exam schedule even when other candidates have started taking the test
  • Once the schedule window is closed, you cannot add candidates.

Removing candidates from your schedule:

  • You can only remove candidates from an ongoing exam schedule as long the candidate did not start the exam yet
  • Once the schedule window is closed, you cannot remove candidates anymore.

When you are happy with these settings, you can Add Invigilators to your schedule [optional] or Click on the 'Activate'-button in the top right Activate the Schedule using the button in top right so the assessment will actually be available to your candidates.
