Actions Tables

The notification table on the Home page is labeled Actions and this is the focal point of the page. This table supplies you with quick access to information on assignments needing your attention such as manual grading, sending reminders to students about late assignments, and viewing recently graded assignments.

Note: You can manage the information and links appearing on your Home page by clicking the Edit Page link located in the Quick Links pane. For more details, see Display Preferences.

Loading Content in Your Actions Table

Use the following controls to enable and control the display of information in the Actions table:

Load

When you open the Home page, you can view the information on the Actions tables by clicking one of the Load buttons. This allows you to see refreshed information every time you log in or return to your Home page from another part of CNOWv2.

Load All

When the number of assignments listed in your Actions table exceeds your limit, a Show First "X" message informs you there are additional assignments to be displayed. Clicking the Load All button allows you view all your assignments at one time.

Note: You can determine the default number of assignments to display (the value for "X") by making a selection for the Assignment Limit on the Display Preferences page. For more details, see Display Preferences.

Load "X"

When you have selected to display all qualifying assignments in the Actions table, a Showing All message appears. Clicking the Load "X" button returns you to the limited number of assignments in the list.

Refresh

Update the Actions table to display any recent activity by clicking Refresh. This action updates only the information for those assignments currently being displayed.

Each of the three Actions sub-tables contain the following columns:

Unavailable Date

A column displaying when the assignment is no longer available to take. This date dictates when the assignment is closed for all students in the course. If an Unavailable Date is not set, the Date Due is displayed instead. When "Closed" appears, it means that students in the course are unable to start a new take or resume a previously-unfinished take of the assignment. See Editing Your Assignment for more details.
