# How to assign a Proctor and Proctor Lead to a Capacity slot

Proctor leads and proctors are assigned at different levels to ensure proper oversight during an exam session. A **proctor lead** is assigned at the **slot level** from the Capacity tab,  they are responsible for overseeing the entire session across all rooms and candidates in that time slot. A **proctor** is assigned at the **individual seat level** from the Seat Allocation view, they are responsible for monitoring specific candidates during the exam.

In this article, you will learn how to assign both roles in Center dashboard.

### Step-by-Step Guide

### Assigning a Proctor Lead

**1. Locate the Proctors column**

From the **Capacity** tab, find the slot you want to assign a proctor lead to. The **Proctors** column shows any currently assigned proctor leads as avatars.

**2. Click the "+" icon**

Click the **+** icon in the Proctors column for that slot. A dropdown opens showing:

* **Currently assigned proctors** at the top, each with a **delete (trash) icon** to remove them.
* A **search field** to find a specific proctor.
* A list of **available proctors** below, showing their name and email.

**3. Select a proctor lead**

Click on a proctor's name from the available list to assign them as a proctor lead for the slot. Their avatar will appear in the Proctors column. You can assign multiple proctor leads to a single slot.

**4. Remove a proctor lead (if needed)**

To remove an assigned proctor lead, click the **+** icon to open the dropdown, then click the **delete (trash) icon** next to the proctor you want to remove.

### Assigning a Proctor to Individual Seats

**5. Open the Seat Allocation view**

Click on the slot's **time link** (e.g., "4 PM – 6 PM") to open the Seat Allocation view.

**6. Assign a proctor to a seat**

In the **Proctor** column, each seat shows either an assigned proctor avatar or is empty. To assign a proctor, click on the **Proctor** column for the seat you want to assign. Select a proctor from the available list.

**7. Remove a seat-level proctor (if needed)**

To remove a proctor from a seat, click the "**✕"** icon on their avatar in the Proctor column. The seat will return to an unassigned state.

  **Additional Tips**

  * You can assign the same proctor to multiple seats within the same room.
  * Use the search field in the proctor dropdown to quickly find a specific proctor by name or email.
