Ιn Schoox, you can set rules for courses/curricula to be automatically assigned to users.
The procedure of creating Rules is described in the following article:
How can I set auto assignment rules?
These rules can be found in the Automated Rules under the Administration Panel.
But how can we edit an existing Automated Rule for a Course or Curriculum?
Just find the automated rule in question, select the wrench icon and click on Edit.
The Edit button redirects you to the Advanced Assignment page where you can find the existing Rule and implement all the changes you wish.
Please note that when you save the new changes by setting the new Rule, the old Auto-Assignment Rule is erased, and depending on the changes you have applied, the users that got assigned through an older version of the rule, may be affected. More specifically,
- Users that got assigned through an older version of the rule but still match the criteria of the current rule, will continue to be considered as part of the rule, thus honoring the setting “Unassign when criteria are not met anymore”.
- If “Unassign when criteria are not met anymore” in the old version of the rule was checked: users that got assigned through an older version of the rule but don’t match the criteria of the current rule, will be instantly unassigned.
Below you'll find some more examples of changes that may affect your users!
