Organizing and sorting your class or section into groups.
The Organizer is used to create new groups and organize assignments into groups. To change settings for an assignment or group, select it, and the settings panel will appear on the right. To specify the order within a group, set Sort by for the group to "Custom Order" and drag and drop the assignments and groups.
You can change the settings for an assignment or group by selecting it and the settings panel will appear to the right of the screen. The Class Home button and the Class Settings button allow you to toggle back and forth between adjusting group settings and class settings.
With the Group settings, you can create new groups and organize assignments into groups. You can sort assignments alphabetically by title, numerically by due date, start date, and end date, or your own custom order.
The Class settings button allows you to view the class title and section title, edit the class availability dates, the display type, the assignment status, the date restrictions, how to sort the class, and whether students are able to see unavailable assignments.
If the assignments for your class have not yet been organized, you can organize them by title, due date, start date, end date, or your own customized order by toggling the class settings button. They then appear in this section in the order in which you have arranged them.
Info: Selecting a date sorting will display the date with the assignment title in the Organizer view only.
To organize your assignments into groups click and drag all desired assignments into the group. You can move multiple assignments or groups at the same time by clicking the related checkboxes of the desired items before clicking and dragging.
You can use these buttons to refresh your group or class data. If you have just made changes to the data, the changes may take a few minutes to be reflected on this page. You can also expand and collapse groups within your class to view individual assignments and the class as a whole. You have the option to make a new group and move already existing assignments into that group, or assign new assignments.
To edit assignment details such as the title, schedule, or preferences select a row in the organizer.
From the drop-down list, you can select the name of the class that you would like to edit and re-organize. For more information on editing or assigning classes, view the Edit/Assign Classes page.
Select multiple assignments in your course in the Organizer view to display the Bulk Actions menu. From the Organizer Bulk Actions view you can:
Remove all of the dates from selected assignments
Move all selected assignments to the same Start date, due date, End date, or Delay Results Until date
Shift all the Start Date, Due Date, End Date or Delay Results Until values by a set number of days, hours and/or minutes
To remove all of the dates from the selected assignments, click the Remove Scheduling button in the Disable scheduling section of the Bulk Actions menu. Clicking this button will display the dates that will be removed from the selected assignments
Once you have reviewed the assignments and confirmed that you want to remove all dates, click Update to remove dates and return to the previous screen. Otherwise click Cancel.
To move the Start, Due, End and/or Delay Results Until dates and times to the desired value, click the Update Scheduling button in the Update schedule with fixed dates section of the Bulk Actions menu.
Enter new values for the desired settings. Entering a new value will then display what the new value for that assignment will be directly after the current value. Click the X button to reject the date change.
Note: If you move the Start date after the Due/End dates or the End/Due dates before the Start date you will see a yellow triangle alert icon and will not be able to save your changes until the Start date is before the Due/End dates.
Once you have input the desired values, click the Update button to enact your changes and return to the previous screen. Click Cancel to reject your changes and return to the previous screen.
In order to shift all dates into the future without moving all dates to the same date as each other, use the Shift Scheduling button in the Shift schedule section of the Bulk Actions menu.
Note: The Shift Schedule button is only available if all selected assignments have the Enable Schedule by Dates options set.
Input the number of days, hours, and minutes to shift the selected assignments. Edit the check box selections for Start, Due, End and Delay Results Until if you only want to shift some of those values. The resulting dates and times for assignment dates that have been selected will display automatically below the current values. New dates and times will be shown after the arrow next to the current date and time.
When the dates are correct, click the Shift button to enact the changes and return to the prior screen. Click Cancel to reject the changes and return to the Bulk Actions view.
