Workflow Tools Updates

Candidate calling feature Recruiters can now make and record screening calls directly from the candidate profile in Workflow Tools, with automatic recording, status tracking, and playback options. This update streamlines candidate screening and enhances efficiency. 1q Gi Assessment invitation from Workflow Tools Recruiters can invite candidates to the assessment step directly from Workflow Tools, and an invitation email will be sent to the candidate. This feature is integrated with the new test-taker experience. Please note that candidates will be able to attend the assessment starting with the August release. Candidate experience We’ve made a bunch of updates to the candidate (attendee) experience in this release, some of the key items are as below:
  1. Disable copy-paste: To enhance assessment security and integrity, we have introduced a feature that prevents candidates from copying and pasting content during assessments. This reduces plagiarism, ensures original responses, and can be customized by organizations as needed.
  2. Watermark for content protection: Watermark protection is now enabled in this release for the new test-taker experience. Enabling the watermark enhances content protection by making it easier to trace unauthorized sharing of assessment content. It also promotes accountability by embedding unique candidate IDs. Q2 Gi
  3. Bypass verification code for consent workflows: Candidates can bypass the verification code page in the attend.talview.com platform and go directly to the interview instructions page when the candidate consent workflow is enabled, streamlining the authentication and consent process. This update simplifies the process and improves the candidate experience by reducing the number of steps. Q3 Gi

Bug Fixes

When screen share was stopped for the second time prechecks were initiated from the start
  • Issue: As a user taking an exam if I stopped the screen share once I could resume the session by sharing screen again. If I stopped it for a second time, I was asked to start the pre-checks from the start.
  • Solution: Irrespective of how many times the screen share is stopped, when the screen share is started again, I will be able to resume the exam without having to do the pre-checks again.
Battery draining and secondary device heating issue
  • Issue: In a proctored session using Livekit video service, the user’s battery was draining very quickly and heating up the device.
  • Solution: We have defined a set of video presets with varying resolutions, bitrates, and frame rates for use in secondary video streaming. These presets allow the application to adapt the video quality to different network conditions and device capabilities by switching between different video presets. Previously there was no upper limit set which meant the videos were streaming in HD or higher quality based on the network of the student thereby draining the battery.
Empty space removed from the bottom while scrolling
In a proctored session, the attendee was able to view background applications below, leading to UI issues. With the current fix, this issue is resolved, which was observed in older Moodle version. Progress bar removed from toaster
The flags warning toaster message was showing some number percentage, breaking the UI. This issue is now fixed, which was observed in older Moodle version. French Subtitles for Environment test demo video
When the user switches the platform language to French and wants to view the demo video, the demo video is now available with subtitles for the user to follow the steps. Links and content opening in new tab in Secure Browser
Secure browser is now enhanced to support links opening in a new tab or same tab from within the assessment. While this feature existed before, there are enhancements done to support this in multiple assessment engines where it wasn’t supported earlier due to technical limitations.

  2. Upper limit for primary video streaming
    To optimize the rendering of multiple video streams and reduce the load on the proctor’s device during live monitoring sessions, we have established an upper limit (960x540) on the quality of the live video stream. This limit applies regardless of the test-taker’s device capability to send HD or higher-quality video streams.

​
Bug Fixes

  1. Video getting stuck in the playback
  • Issue: When user navigates the playback recording by using the next alert button the video would get stuck, but the timeline would be playing.
  • Solution: We have made the necessary fix to ensure the video plays seamlessly when user navigates using the next alert button.
  1. External attendee ID was not available in the playback
  • Issue: Candidate’s external attendee ID was missing in the header of the playback and the embedded playback screens.
  • Solution: The attendee ID will now appear in the header for all sessions.
  1. Alvy alerts (advanced AI) displaying the description in the toast messages
  • Issue: The long descriptions of Alvy alerts were being displayed rather than the alert name in the main feed.
  • Solution: We have made the necessary changes to display the alert name and not the description in the video feed.
  1. Alvy (advanced AI) alerts not in sync in the video timeline
  • Issue: Alerts generated by Alvy were not in sync in the video timeline. There used to be a 15–30 second delay.
  • Solution: We have made the necessary fix to sync the events triggered by Alvy to the video timeline.
  1. Sorting issue in R&R accounts
  • Issue: Sessions in R&R accounts were sorted randomly, making it difficult to locate sessions.
  • Solution: The sorting has been fixed to display sessions in a descending order based on the ‘Status Updated’ value. The latest session will be at the top.
