About

You find the global general settings for Designer in Site administration > Plugins > Course formats > Designer Format > General settings and then in the tab General.

There are two types of settings here:

  • Standard global settings โ€“ These affect all course instances immediately. Displayed bold and include an explanation of the setting.

  • Default settings โ€“ These apply only to instances created after the default is set. They can:

    • be marked as advanced, which hides them behind the โ€œShow more...โ€ link in the instance settings.

    • be changed later at course level.


Available settings

  • Date format

    Select the date format from the available options. All dates in Designer will be displayed this way, for example the completion date of an activity.

  • Flow animation duration
    Set the time in seconds for the duration of the flow animation when using the Flow type in Designer.

Hero activity

  • Section 0 activities

  • Show as tab

  • Order

  • Avoid duplicate entry
    If enabled, an opened hero activity only displays the hero activity link in the secondary menu. The standard activity entry will not be shown.
