# How to view candidates for a specific center

The **Candidates** tab within a center allows administrators to view all candidates scheduled to take exams at that specific center. This view provides a consolidated list of candidates along with their exam details, seating allocation, accommodations, and current exam status.

To view candidates assigned to a center:

2. Select the **center** you want to manage from the centers list.
3. Once inside the center page, click the **Candidates** tab.

The system will display a table containing all candidates scheduled for exams at that center.

The table includes the following columns:

| Column                | Description                                                                                                                                                     |

| **Duration**          | The total duration of the exam session.                                                                                                                         |
| **Room**              | The room number where the candidate will take the exam.                                                                                                         |

Candidates are also grouped by **exam date**, making it easier to track sessions scheduled for different days.

**Searching for a Candidate**

You can quickly locate a candidate using the **Search bar** located at the top of the Candidates page.

Search supports the following fields:

* Candidate name
* Email address
* External ID
* Exam name

The results update dynamically as you type.

**Candidate Actions**

Each candidate row includes a **menu** that provides operational actions such as:

* **Update Status**

These actions allow administrators to manage candidate exam workflows directly from the candidates list.
