The Progress Monitor is a tool that has been integrated in VTS online and offline by default since VTS 8.29. The real-time status of all planned, active and inactive testings can be displayed and monitored with this functionality. The Progress Monitor can be accessed directly in the VTS Portal via Tools --> Progress Monitor, without requiring any additional installation or configuration.
The Progress Monitor updates the status automatically every 30 seconds. The automatic refresh can be deactivated by clicking on the check-box next to Automatic refresh. If required, the dashboard can be automatically refreshed by clicking on the 
Filter and search functions:
-
You can search for people (or personal ID) in the search bar at the top center. Additional filters (device name, scoring code, test sequence, current test name) can be applied at the top right. In the top left corner, you can filter by test status, for example, to monitor only active tests. A test can have the following statuses: “Not started”, “Active”, “Inactive”, “Completed”, “Skipped”
-
Furthermore, for a better overview and faster search, the displayed columns (e.g., personal ID, current duration, expected duration, etc.) can be hidden or shown.

Start, continue or complete test:
-
Testings with the status “Inactive” or “Not started” can be started or continued using the play symbol
-
Testings which have been completed will be visible in the Progress Monitor until the end of the day. Afterwards you can access them in the tab Results.
-
Testings with the status “Inactive” can be completed by marking all relevant persons and pressing Complete. Test results are scored solely on the basis of any available interim results. Once the test is completed, no further tests or data can be added, the test cannot be continued and one license is consumed for each completed test. This process cannot be undone. Testings which are completed this way will switch to status “Skipped”.
