Template list in the SEB Configuration tab

The overview table shows all created SEB configuration templates with various columns that can be configured individually via the gear icon.

The Type column shows whether a template is a Form (configured in OpenOlat) or an imported SEB-File.

If no template has been created yet, the message is displayed: "No Safe Exam Browser configuration templates have been created yet."

Adding / editing a template

Use the "Create template" button to create a new SEB configuration template. Open existing templates with "Edit template" in the three-dot menu. The form contains all existing SEB configuration options as well as the required field:

  • Name: Required field for naming the template.

And the status indicators:

  • Active or inactive: Defines whether the template is selectable for authors.

Import SEB-File

We distinguish two types of templates:

  • Form: The configuration is maintained via the individual form options in OpenOlat (as described under "Create template").
  • SEB-File: A complete, unencrypted .seb configuration file is imported and covers the full range of Safe Exam Browser functionality.

For the import, use the "Import SEB-File" action. OpenOlat reads the configuration from the file, displays it read-only, and calculates the config key automatically. The file must not be encrypted or password-protected.

For an SEB-File template, the following are additionally available:

  • SEB source file: the imported .seb file.
  • Information for authors: an optional text shown to authors when using the template in the assessment mode.

Setting the default template

Exactly one template must be marked as the default. Use the "Set as default" action to define a different template as the default. The default template is automatically pre-selected when SEB is activated in the assessment mode.

Activating / deactivating templates

Deactivated templates no longer appear in the template selection when configuring an assessment mode.

Deleting templates

A template can only be deleted if it is no longer in use: Column Uses = 0. Otherwise the template can be deactivated.

Safe Exam Browser Versions Tab

Enforce minimal SEB version

Via this tab, you can require a minimal version of the Safe Exam Browser instance-wide. This is helpful if versions below a certain SEB version should not be permitted.

Activate "Enforce minimal SEB version". Then set the required version separately per operating system:

  • Minimal version Windows
  • Minimal version Mac
  • Minimal version iOS

If a participant starts an exam with an older version, the exam is not released; a prompt appears to update the Safe Exam Browser.
