View as Supervisor

View as Supervisor lets Program Admins see FieldX exactly as a specific site supervisor sees it. Use it to verify a supervisor’s dashboard, tasks, and sites without asking them to screen-share — and without any risk of changing their data.

When to use it

Confirming a supervisor sees the right students and cohorts before the semester starts
Debugging why a supervisor reports missing tasks, sites, or hours to sign off on
Previewing how a new evaluation form appears in the supervisor’s queue
Onboarding new Program Admins by showing them what supervisors actually see

Starting a session

Go to Program Settings → Members and open the Supervisors tab.
Find the supervisor you want to view as.
In the row actions, click View as Supervisor.

SimCare opens the supervisor’s Field Experience dashboard in the same browser tab. While impersonation is active, a sticky amber banner stays pinned to the top of every page. The banner shows:

The supervisor’s name
The Read-only label
A live countdown timer (default 1 hour)
An Exit Supervisor View button — click to return to the Program Admin Overview

You’ll see the supervisor’s Overview KPIs, tasks, sites, and profile exactly as they would.

Supervisor preview with red arrows pointing to Read-only and Exit Supervisor View — The supervisor preview shows a read-only banner and an Exit Supervisor View action.

What’s read-only

View as Supervisor is a strict read-only mode. You can navigate freely, but you cannot:

Sign off, approve, or deny hours or tasks
Post comments on student submissions
Save changes to the supervisor’s profile
Modify sites, students, or any supervisor-owned data

If you try, the write is blocked and a small toast explains why.

Audit log

Every impersonation session is recorded in your Activity Log (Program Settings → Activity Log):

Who started the session
Which supervisor they impersonated
Session start time and the supervisor and program being viewed
An end event when you exit the view

Coordinators can review past impersonations to satisfy security or accreditation requirements.

Session lifetime

Expires after 1 hour — use the countdown in the banner to see the remaining time.
Switching people — exit the current preview before starting a student or supervisor preview.
Shared across browser tabs — preview mode uses your browser session. Check the amber banner in other SimCare tabs and exit preview before resuming admin work.

If your hour runs out and you still need to debug, just click View as Supervisor again on the same supervisor. A fresh session starts.
