Enable Location Tracking Proctoring for Assessments

The Location Tracking proctoring feature captures a candidate's location throughout an assessment, so you can confirm they are testing from an approved area.

Before you begin

• You need an existing assessment, or be ready to create one.
• Candidates must grant browser location permission when starting the assessment. Without permission, Testlify cannot capture location data.

Enable Location Tracking

1. Open the assessment you want to configure — create a new one or edit an existing one.
2. Go to the assessment settings and click the Proctoring tab.

   

3. Check the Location Tracking checkbox.

   

4. Click Save.

Review Location Data

• Testlify records the candidate's location continuously during the assessment.
• Once the assessment ends, the tracked location appears on the Candidate Display Page.

  

• VPN note: If a candidate uses a VPN, the report shows the VPN's location, not their physical location. Keep this in mind when reviewing results.

Tip: For stronger proctoring coverage, combine Location Tracking with Snapshot Proctoring or Screen Recording.
