Regarding login to WISEflow

Please note that the login image for WISEflow has been changed.

The background for this is the following:

Login Aarhus University was activated for login in WISEflow on Tuesday 29 October 2024, at 10:00 a.m.

With Login Aarhus University, security is increased in connection with login.

As a student, it is recommended that you log in with AU ID, which from a user's point of view resembles WAYF. You can also use MitID. You can find the options by clicking on "Login Aarhus University". Below are the two options, respectively are called "Log in with AU ID" or "Log in with MitID".

When the activation is complete you can find further instructions to the right of this help page in the "How to log in" box.

Login Aarhus University is continuously being used on several systems. Login Aarhus University is thus not limited to WISEflow. Use of WAYF is still possible, but WAYF will be gradually phased out.

Technical guides


Before the exam


Flow overview

In WISEflow, exams are called "flows", and the "Flow overview" gives you an overview of your exams. Here you can see the status of the individual exams and the type of exam in question.

You can try out the different exam types by using the test function (“Demoflow”).

Try the tutorial below to find out more about the flow overview and demoflows.

Find more information about your exam

By clicking the individual flows in the flow overview, you will get more information about the exams e.g. exam date and other important information.

Before written on-site exams

Download the Device Monitor

When the Device Monitor is activated, the programme will automatically take screenshots of your screen during the exam.

It will depend on the individual exam whether you have to activate the Device Monitor. You will be notified about this before the exam.

You can read more about Device Monitor here.

If your exam flow has been set up to Group submission, you may submit your paper as a member of a group or alone in a one-person group.

To be able to submit your assignment, you (or another person from your group), must form a group in WISEflow. Please note that you need to form a group even if you're in a one-person group and that you cannot form the group until the exam flow has started.

See how you form a group in the tutorial below.

During written on-site exams

FLOWlock - the basics

FLOWlock is a special type of flow in WISEflow, which is tailored to on-site examinations with limited or no aids permitted.

A FLOWlock exam takes place entirely in a designated lockdown browser, where you will get access to a built-in text editor which limits your access to all other than the allowed programmes on your computer while the flow is active.

To take a FLOWlock exam, you must download, install and test the lockdown browser before the exam (find out how here).

In the tutorial below, you can see what you need to do in WISEflow when taking a FLOWlock exam. Before the exam, you can test the various FLOWlock elements in a demo flow, which you access from the bottom of your flow overview
