Actions Configurations

Last Updated on June 10, 2026

Registrations requiring the use of the Test Monitoring application (TMA) allow Test Administrators to pause, stop, and resume a student’s test by using Actions Configurations.

Test Administrators (TA) can take action on a single student’s test, or a group of students. When a student test has been paused or stopped by the test administrator, they are not allowed to continue testing until the Test Administrator resumes their test from within the dashboard. Test Administrators are also able to provide a reason for pausing/stopping the test, and a message to be viewed by the students in the DRC INSIGHT test engine.

Actions: Pause, Stop, Resume

Pause

Pausing a test is intended to be a short-term action. The Test Administrator selects the student(s) they wish to pause, a reason for pausing tests, and a message that will be viewed by the students in the DRC INSIGHT test engine.

When a Test Administrator pauses a test, the student will be brought to the test administrator Pause screen in the DRC INSIGHT test engine. The student is not automatically logged out. The student can select Logout from the Test Administrator Pause page to logout.

Stop

Stopping a test is intended for long-term action. The Test Administrator may or may not decide to allow the student  to resume testing. The Test Administrator selects the student (s) they wish to stop, a reason for stopping tests, and a message that will be viewed by the students  in the DRC INSIGHT test engine.

When a Test Administrator stops a test, the student  will be brought to the test administrator stop screen in the DRC INSIGHT test engine. The student  is not automatically logged out. The student can select Logout from the test administrator stop screen to logout.

Resume

Resuming a paused or stopped test allows the tester to continue testing. The Test Administrator will select the student(s) they wish to resume.

When a Test Administrator resumes a test, and the student is still logged into the DRC INSIGHT test engine (either on the Test Administrator Pause or Stop page), the student will be brought to the Test Administrator Resume screen where they can select to continue testing.

When a Test Administrator resumes a test, and the student  is not logged into the DRC INSIGHT test engine, the student will continue the test from the screen they were previously on the next time they log in and enter a valid code.

Action Status

The student is prevented from continuing to test when they are in a “TA Paused” or “Stopped” status and is only allowed to continue testing when the Test Administrator (TA) has Resumed the student’s test from within the Test Monitoring Application.

The student action status will persist after logging out of the DRC INSIGHT test engine, regardless of which monitoring session they log back into. This means if a Test Administrator pauses a student test under one monitoring code, and the student registers to a different monitoring code, they will still be in a TA Paused status.

A Test Administrator can use the filter panel to find all students in a “TA Paused” or “Stopped” status by using the Action Status filter.
