    Window sized allowed: Controls whether test-takers can change the size of the exam browser window on the screen. For exams that allow the use of other applications (e.g. Excel) this option should be set to “Resized”.
    Application lost focus: Controls whether the active exam window can go out of focus. If restricted, students cannot interact with other applications during the test. If allowed, other applications can be launched and brought to the foreground. For exams that allow the use of other applications (e.g. Excel) this option should be set to “Allowed”.

  5. Below the restriction settings, identify which test-aids are permitted for use during the test. By default, no resources are permitted.

  6. When finished, click the Save button on the bottom right-hand side of the page to save any changes made to both the quiz and ProctorU settings.

  7. Support for Record+ is offered through the Boise State Help Desk. Instructors who use Record+ are advised to post a link to the Record+ Student Support page in the Module area of their course directly above each exam. Please direct students to the information on that page should they contact you for assistance.
