| ===Required entries=== | | ==RSS== |
| The number of entries each student is required to enter before the database activity can be considered complete. The student will see a reminder message if s/he has not submitted the required number of entries.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Entries required before viewing=== | | ==Javascript== |
| The number of entries the student needs to submit before s/he can see entries by other students. If the student has not submitted the required number of entries, s/he will only see the entry page and not the list or single view pages.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Note'': If entries are required before viewing, the database auto-linking filter should be disabled. This is because the database auto-linking filter can't determine whether a user has submitted the required number of entries.
| | ==CSS== |
|
| |
|
| ===Maximum entries=== | | ==Backup/restore== |
| The maximum number of entries the student can submit before s/he is blocked. This prevents people from spamming the system, either in the hope that one entry is good enough or, on a public site, as a way of advertising.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Comments=== | | ==Permissions== |
| Enables commenting on entries. The comments field appears on the single view template when this is enabled.
| |
| | |
| ===Require approval?===
| |
| Allows you to require each entry to be approved by someone with the appropriate role before other users can view it.
| |
| | |
| ===RSS articles===
| |
| Enables you to publish an RSS feed of entries in the dataform. The option here sets the number of entries available in the feed.
| |
| | |
| ''Note'': RSS feeds need to be enabled by your system administrator.
| |
| | |
| ===Allow posts to be rated?===
| |
| Lets you allow posts to be rated, which will enter a score in the gradebook for the student’s submissions in the database. The grade is set using the dropdown menu below this option.
| |
| | |
| ==Common module settings==
| |
| See [[Common module settings]] for more information. Essentially you can set how different [[Groups]] in the course see or interact with each other and set an ID for grading purposes in this area.
| |
| | |
| ==Site administration settings==
| |
| | |
| The dataform has additional settings which may be changed by an administrator in ''Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Dataform''.
| |
| | |
| ===Enabling RSS feeds===
| |
| | |
