How do I monitor a session in TAO Portal?
Monitoring a live session allows proctors to view and manage a session while it is in progress.
- To find a specific session, use the search bar in the top-left corner of the Sessions management interface in the TAO Portal.
- Select Enter Session for the session you want to view.
- Select Monitor live at the top-right of the session overview interface:

- In the table that displays, select one of the tabs to view test takers according to their assessment status: not started, awaiting authorization, in progress, paused, finished:
- Awaiting authorization: provides the options to authorize a test taker (if authorization is configured for the session).
- In Progress: Proctors may select a test taker while they are in progress to terminate, pause, extend, or report their session.
- Paused: Proctors may select a test taker while they are paused to terminate, pause, extend, or report their session.
- Finished: Select a test-taker to reopen a session or report the test taker.
