NEW FEATURE: PRESETS 🎯 We're excited to introduce Presets - a powerful new way to streamline your exam setup process!

What are Presets? Presets allow invigilators to save specific configurations of display settings that work well for particular exam scenarios. Once saved, these configurations can be applied to any display (including saved displays!) with just a single click.

Key Benefits:

  • Time-Saving: Apply complex configurations instantly instead of manually adjusting multiple settings just before the exams start
  • Consistency: Ensure identical setups across multiple exam sessions. No more last-minute adjustments!
  • Error Reduction: Eliminate the risk of forgotten settings during busy exam periods
  • Flexibility: Create multiple presets for different examination requirements. You can create as many presets as you like

Example Use Cases:

Create a "Bright room" preset with optimised contrast and brightness settings for bright rooms Create an "Extended Time" preset for exams that have lots of candidates with extra time
