# Understanding Candidates Dashboard

The Candidates tab in **Talview's In-Center platform** gives the center admin a session-level view of all candidates at a specific exam center. In this article, you will learn how to monitor candidate progress, verify seating, manage accommodations, and perform operational actions during an exam session.

### **Accessing the Candidates tab**

From the center's page, click the **Candidates** tab next to **Overview** and **Capacity**. The full candidate roster for that center opens.

**Viewing candidate profile details**

Each row in the table displays key candidate information:

* Candidate name and email
* External ID
* Registered exam
* Scheduled slot
* Exam duration
* Assigned room and seat
* Accommodations (if any)

**Searching for a candidate**

The **Status** column shows the candidate's current stage in the exam journey. Statuses include:

* Invited
* Active
* Lobby
* Checked-in
* Seated
* In Progress

**Verifying room and seat assignments**

The **Room** and **Seat** columns show where each candidate is placed. Use these to manage seating logistics, support on-ground staff, and resolve seating conflicts.

**Reviewing accommodations**

The **Accommodations** column displays icons representing approved accommodations for each candidate. This helps you quickly identify candidates who require special support during the exam.

**Performing candidate actions**

Each candidate row includes a three-dot menu with the following actions:

* **Update Status** — manually adjust the candidate's exam status when required
* **Check-in** — mark the candidate as checked in
* **Report incident** — log any exam-related issues
* **Upload results** — submit or attach exam outcomes
* **Reschedule** — move the candidate to a different slot
* **Cancel booking** — cancel the candidate's exam appointment

**Navigating by exam date**

Candidates are grouped by exam date. Use this to manage daily test sessions, track attendance per day, and review historical activity.

**Managing pagination**

Use the **Page controls** and **Rows per page** selector at the bottom of the table to navigate through large candidate lists.
