About
Timetable lets you create assignments that generate individual calendar entries for each user. Assignments can control the start, due, and end date of a course and can be configured for individual users, groups, or enrollment methods. You can find assignments in a course under the secondary navigation menu > Timetable > Activity setup.
Note: Assignments override the settings made in the general course configuration in Timetable.
View and filter assignments in the schedule
Assignments are displayed in a table. All assignments are shown by default, and the filter above the table helps you narrow the list to what you need.
Filter options
Search use – Display only assignments of students whose data matches the keyword.
Filter by – Show assignments of all users or limit the list to one specific user.
Date range – Show all activities or limit the view to this week, this month, upcoming, or due items.
Priority – Show all activities or display only low, normal, or high priority assignments.
Date format – Display dates in both formats or only in relative or absolute format.
