This article explains how to create a testing location.
About testing locations
Creating a testing location facilitates scheduling tests. Combined with the testing sessions feature, it allows the effective creation of tests for different user groups at different locations.
Each location can be a physical location or a virtual room. It has a predefined time zone and assigned proctors who supervise the test.
If you select the location when scheduling a testing session, note that all settings of the testing location will be applied to the testing session, particularly:
- The proctors assigned to the location automatically become the proctors of that testing session.
- The time zone of the location automatically becomes the session time zone.

Assigning proctors to a testing location
