The Dataform content availability condition allows teachers to restrict user access to an activity or section based on content of a designated Dataform instance in the course.

Basic example

• Enable conditional access in site administration
• Go the course.
• Add "Dashboard" Dataform
  • In the Dataform settings, set 'Separate participants' to 'Yes'
• Add fields in the Dashboard Dataform
  • Add a text field with the name 'Conditional activity'
• Add views in the Dashboard Dataform
  • Add an aligned view with the name 'List'
    • Set the view template to ##entries##
    • Uncheck all the view submission buttons
  • Set the 'List' view as the default view
  • Add an aligned view with the name 'Manage List'
    • Replace in the entry template 'EAU:name' with 'EAU:edit'
• Add conditional activiy
  • Add a Page resource in the course with the name 'Extra Page'.
  • In the Page settings add a Datafrom content restriction condition and select the Dashboard.
  • Set the condition to hidden.
• As a student you will not see the Page resource.
  • Log in as a student.
  • You will not see the Extra Page resource in the course.

  • Log in as a teacher.
  • Go the Dashboard.
  • Go to the Manage List view.
  • Click 'Add a new entry'.
  • Select the student in the entry user dropdown.
  • Enter the text Extra Page in the text field.
  • Save the entry.
• Now the student can see and access the Extra Page resource.

Admin setting

The reserved field name and reserved filter name are also available via the plugin language strings. The language strings take effect when the admin settings remain empty.

Note: Moodle doesn't yet provide access to the admin settings page of availability condition plugins. You can still set these settings directly in config.php.
