a New Preference Set |

Choose Preference
Editor from the Tabs menu. |
| |
|
|
| |
2. |
Select
the title from the Titles menu. |
| |
|
|

3. |
Select
the Preference Set you wish to copy from the Preference
Set Name list. You can choose factory sets if the Factory radio
button is selected or custom sets if the Custom radio
button is selected. |
| |
|
|
| |
4. |
The screen
will show the individual Preferences that can now be edited.
The Preferences are divided into four categories: Progression,
Scoring, Access, and Miscellaneous. Click on the corresponding
tabs to move from one category to another. |
| |
|
|
| |
5. |
Preferences
with text or number values are found in the top half of the
Preferences field. These Preferences allow text or a number
to be specified as a setting. After you determine what the
setting should be, select the Preference you wish to change
and enter the value in the field directly above these Preferences. |
| |
|
|
| |
6. |
Preferences
with on/off values are found in the bottom half of the Preferences
field. These Preferences can be toggled on or off. Click
next to the Preference in the On/Off column
to turn items on (a green check will appear) or off (a red X will
appear). |
| |
|
|
| |
7. |
While
we do not recommend it under most circumstances, you can
allow students to change Preferences from their own computer.
Click on the arrow next to a Preference and select S to
allow the student to make changes to that Preference. Selecting T will
allow only the teacher to make changes to that Preference. |
| |
|
|
| |
8. |
If you
are logged in as the Administrator and are creating the Preference
Set for a specific instructor, you should click on the e button
to choose that instructor. This will cause that instructor’s
initials to be prepended to the name of the Preference Set
instead of ADM (the Administrator’s
initials key). |
| |
|
|
| |
9. |
Click
on Save. A prompt will appear asking you
to give a name to this new Preference Set. Try to make the
name something descriptive that will make it easy to spot
later. |
| |
|
|
| |
10. |
Your new
Preference Set will appear in the list of Preference Sets
when the Custom radio button is selected. Your 3-character
Instructor code will be added to the beginning of the name
of the Preference Set. |
