Auto-submission in Cadmus Exams

Auto-submission is an exam-specific feature in Cadmus that ensures student work is submitted automatically at the end of the exam.

How auto-submission works

When auto-submission is enabled, Cadmus will automatically submit a student’s work once their writing time ends.

When this feature is turned on, it means:

  • Students do not need to manually click Submit
  • The most recent saved version of their work will be submitted
  • Students will see a confirmation once submission is complete

If auto-submission is not enabled, students will have to manually submit their work.

 

What is included in the submission

  • All content written or all answers selected in the Cadmus Editor or Workspace during the exam
  • Any saved edits made before the timer ends

 

Important considerations

  • Auto-submission happens immediately when writing time ends
  • Students should have Cadmus page opened and remain connected to the internet to ensure their latest work is saved

How to enable auto-submission

To turn on auto-submission for an exam:

  • Set the assessment type to Exam
  • Configure the Exam Timing (open/start and close/end time, reading time (if any), and writing time)
  • In the Submissions section, enable Auto submission
    • This will ensure student work is submitted automatically at the end of writing time
