Default views configuration

Calendar session view #

In the Calendar view, all testing sessions are initially displayed. However, you have the option to customize the default display of testing sessions on this page to either show Multiple test sessions or Single test sessions, depending on your preference.

Calendar delivery preference #

In the Calendar view, testing sessions with all delivery type preferences are initially shown by default. You have the option to select the specific delivery preference type for the tests that will be presented to the candidates.

Note: If the authorization module is activated, candidates will only see tests for which they have been authorized. This means that even if you set the default delivery preference type to All, these candidates will not see all tests; they will only see the tests they are authorized to access.
