Understanding monitoring flags - Proctorly Help Center

This page is for teachers. Flags are reviewed in your dashboard after an exam.

A flag is something Proctorly noted during a session that may be worth your attention. A flag is a note, not a verdict — many have ordinary explanations. You review the flags and snapshots in the report and decide what matters.

What each flag means

Flag	What it means
`face_not_detected`	No face visible in the webcam.
`multiple_faces`	More than one person visible.
`tab_switch`	Left the exam tab or switched windows.
`fullscreen_exit`	Left full-screen mode.
`screen_share_stopped`	Screen sharing was interrupted.
`audio_detected`	Loud or suspicious background audio.
`multiple_monitors`	More than one display detected.
`screenshot_attempt`	An apparent screenshot attempt.

Each flag carries a confidence and feeds into the session’s risk level (High, Medium, Low, or None).

Reviewing and deciding

You confirm or dismiss each flag, and can set a whole-session verdict of Clear or Escalate. Snapshots captured during the exam back up each flag.

Reviewing results

Integrity scores, flags, confidence, risk levels, and snapshots.

Verdicts & actions

Confirm or dismiss flags and set Clear or Escalate.
