If a student's browser loses focus during a flagged test — switching to another tab or window — Chamilo shows a full-screen warning telling them to return, and can automatically submit their attempt if they don't. ## Flagging a Test Open the test's settings and check the **Exercise Focused** option. Once flagged, every attempt on that test is monitored for focus loss, and each event is logged. ## What Students See When a monitored student leaves the exam window, an overlay appears telling them to return and complete the test. Depending on how your administrator has configured the plugin, this can also start a countdown that auto-submits the attempt, and/or auto-submit after a set number of focus-loss events. ## Reviewing Results A flagged test gets a reporting icon opening a three-tab report: * A summary by attempt * A filterable, searchable view with Excel export * A random-sampling tab for spot-checking attempts ## Tips * **The behavior itself is platform-wide** — As a teacher, you only choose which tests are flagged; the warning countdown length and the number of allowed focus-loss events before auto-submit are set once by your administrator * **Tell students in advance** — Let learners know a test is monitored this way before they start, so a browser notification or an accidental click doesn't cost them their attempt * **It only covers the standard test-taking screen** — If your platform delivers tests through a different route, focus-loss detection may not apply there
