# Default Course Description Settings

The Default Course Description Settings page allows you to define standard values that will automatically appear every time you create a new course. By pre-filling these fields, you:

- **Ensure Consistency:** Maintain a uniform naming and coding style across your entire course catalog.
- **Save Time:** Eliminate the need to type the same repetitive information (like passing grades or cost) for every individual course.
- **Reduce Errors:** Prevent mistakes in critical settings like credit values or ID formats.

These fields help the system and the users identify and categorize your courses easily:

- **Name:** The full title of the course. Setting a default prefix helps group similar courses.  
    **Example:** Set it to "Tech Training:" so every new course starts with that title.
- **Code:** A short, shorthand identifier for quick searching.  
    **Example:** Set a prefix like "TECH-" so your courses are automatically coded as TECH-001, TECH-002, etc.

- **ID Number:** A unique internal batch number.  
    **Example:** Use a year-based format like "2026-ID-" to batch when courses were added.
- **Description:** The main summary of the course. You can leave a template or instructions here to guide course creators.

Use these fields to establish the "standard" rules for your institution’s learning content:

- **Length Description and Duration:** Define the general timeframe.   
    You can set a default label like "Self-paced" or a specific number of days/hours.
- **Credits:** If your institution uses a credit-based system, you can set a standard workload value here.
- **Completion Grade:** A critical quality control setting.

You can pre-set the passing score (e.g., 70 or 80) so it is automatically applied to all new courses.

- **Cost:** If your courses require a fee, set the standard price point here.
- **Version:** Used to track content updates. You can set the starting version to "1.0" by default.

- Click the Save changes button at the bottom of the page.

Now, whenever you build a new Course Description, these details will be waiting for you in the form.   
You can use them as-is or edit them for that specific course, making your administrative process faster and more professional.
