Configure Site Manager

Once you have installed the Pearson VUE Testing System software on all the workstations, you must configure Site Manager. You must update your user account, identify the hours the site will be open using an Open Rule, and specify how many exam delivery workstations are configured at the site.

Return to the administration workstation to perform the remaining steps in this section of the installation guide.

In this procedure, you use the Site Manager application to set up some basic information about your site and its workstations so that you can test your Pearson VUE Testing System installation. We recommend that you have the site administrator perform this procedure so that he or she becomes familiar with Site Manager and Connect User Management.
