Default Course Instance Settings

Default Course Instance settings allow administrators to establish "baseline" values for the entire platform. By defining these values once, the system will automatically pre-fill the information every time you create a new Course Instance. This ensures consistency across your institution and eliminates repetitive data entry.

Follow this navigation path:

• Open the Side Drawer menu on your dashboard.
• Click on the Admin section.
• Select Default Course Instance Settings.

As shown in the interface image, there are four primary fields available for pre-configuration:

ID Number

• What to enter: A standard identification pattern or prefix used by your organization.

• If your classes always follow a specific naming convention (e.g., "CLASS-2026-"), entering it here ensures every new class starts with the correct code.

Start Time & End Time

• How to use: You must first click the Enable checkbox next to the field to activate the date and time selectors.

• What to enter: Select a standard date and time for when your typical semester or training block begins and ends.

Note: These values are placeholders. You can always adjust the specific dates for individual classes later.

Max # of Students

• What to enter: The maximum number of learners allowed in a standard class (e.g., 25 or 30).

• This field automatically sets the capacity limit for every new class you build, preventing over-enrollment by default.
  

Once you have entered your preferred baseline values:

• Review the fields for accuracy.
• Click the Save changes button at the bottom of the page.
  

From this point forward, whenever you navigate to create a new Course Instance, these fields will already be populated with your chosen data.
You simply need to verify or make minor adjustments, significantly reducing your administrative workload.
