Session Explorer

  • Updated

Session Explorer allows you to search for student test sessions by student name, test name, test program, etc. Both published and unpublished tests with administrations are included in Session Explorer. You can export the search results to a CSV file. This page is available only for users with the appropriate role permissions.

  1. Go to Operations > Session Explorer.
  2. You must select at least one of the following filters to populate the session list: Student, Test Program, Test Name, Test Code, or Organization. Click the Clear Search link to start fresh.
  3. Select one or more of the optional filters:
    • Organization – Select a district, school, or state.
    • Status – Select a test state (or states), such as In Progress or Submitted.
    • Accommodations – Select one or more accommodation, such as Text To Speech.
    • Accountability Codes – Select an accountability code, such as Medical Excused.
  4. Click the Search button. Click Clear Search (on the top left) to remove all selected search criteria.
  5. In the Actions column, click the more menu to view:
    • History – View the session history. This includes creating sessions, student approval requests, changes to the test state, setting or changing accountability codes, etc. You can copy the Session ID or External ID (from TestNav) and search by that ID in the Student search field.
    • Delete Session – Remove the student session if it is not yet started (you can first reset an In-Progress session if needed). You will also need to modify the student to make sure they will not be rescanned back into the session. After deleting a session, its history will no longer be available.
    • Reset Session – Reset an In-Progress student session. This means that any existing responses will be removed, and the student will restart the test from the beginning. You will need to enter a reason and then click Save. For example, if a student starts the test and does not have Text to Speech, you can reset the session, delete the session, and then assign the test with the correct accommodations form. This action requires permission for your role.
    • Unsubmit Session – Unsubmit a submitted student session. This action requires permission for your role.
  6. In the Accountability column, click the Set Code button to add an accountability code, such as Cheating, to a student session. To apply an accountability code to multiple students, select the checkboxes for these students and then click the Set Code button for any of them. 
  7. In the more menu on the top right, you can:
    • Select the Export Selected Sessions option to export the search results. You can select the checkboxes for specific students or click the checkbox in the table header for bulk selection options. Click the Export History button to view previous exports and redownload them as needed.
    • Select Bulk Apply Accountability Codes to apply accountability codes to selected sessions. See step 6 above for more information.
