- Once you have identified the appropriate **instructor,** click the **arrow icon** next to their name to **open** the **assignment configuration fields:**
    - **Assignment Date:** Enter the date the instructor officially begins their responsibility for the course instance. This allows the system to batch when they become active in the course instance.
    - **Completion Date:** Define the date when the instructor’s assignment will end. This is used to manage the total duration of their responsibility for the course instance.
- After filling in these dates, click the **green tick** to successfully save the assignment. If you wish to **discard** the **entry,** click the **red cross.**

- To verify the process, open the **Currently Assigned Instructors** section to confirm that the **instructor’s** name has been added to the active list.
- If you are unable to find a specific instructor in the list, **utilize** the **filter** option for a more efficient search. Click the **Add button** and select a **filter** type, such as Username or Email.
- Enter the **relevant value** into the search field, and the system will display the **matching results.** Once the instructor appears, select them and **click** the **green tick** to finalize their assignment to the course instance.
