Behavior Settings
Behavior Settings allows instructors to set the weight of suspicious behaviors using the preset configurations or customize to their preferred metrics.

Proctorio Policy Settings
Frame Metrics
- The Proctorio behavior flags are controlled by the presets and can be modified here.
- Setting the weight of these flags determines how critical a particular behavior is in relation to the other flags.
- These settings can be changed any time, even after the exam is complete. Changing the weight of the flags will trigger an automatic re-grade of the suspicion levels for each student in the reports.
- This allows you to adjust things if you feel the report is raising too many students as highly suspicious. It could mean that your settings are too severe and need to be dialed back.
Proctorio Policy Settings
Frame Metrics
- Selecting more lenient settings in the metrics Proctorio is tracking will impact the number of students that are flagged in the reports.
Proctorio Policy Settings
Frame Metrics
- Because the settings were dialed down to be more lenient, only one student has been flagged in red for review, although there are some visual indicators that show that other students may need to be reviewed.
Proctorio Policy Settings
Frame Metrics
- If the severity level is dialed up in the frame metrics, the reports will echo the changes.
- These levels can be adjusted at any time—before or after the exam was administered.
Proctorio Policy Settings
Frame Metrics
- In this version of the report, more students are now showing as needing to be reviewed because the severity measure of certain metrics was increased.
