Assignments Page Advanced Options

The advanced options on the Assignments page are hidden or displayed through the use of the Show All Options/Hide All Options toggle. You may need to click the Show All Options link, if the controls for the following tasks are hidden.

Click this link to go to the Archived Materials page, where you can manage the folders, courses, sections, and assignments that are stored and not currently in use. Archived assignments are removed from the Assignments page list but remain available for you to view, delete, copy, or you can use the retrieve option to return them to the Assignments page list. See Archiving Courses and Assignments for more details.

Click the Self-Authored Questions link to access a page where you can create or modify your own questions using the CengageNOWv2 Instructor Authoring editor. You can later use your questions to populate your assignments in addition to choosing questions from your Cengage course materials. For more details, see Authoring in CengageNOWv2.

Click this link to open the Reorder Assignments page where you can customize the order of assignments on your Assignments page. Select an assignment by left-clicking the associated row and then change its location in the list by dragging the row into the desired spot.

Once you are done moving assignments, click Save & Return to save the list and return to the Assignments page. Click Cancel to return to the Assignments page without saving your changes.

Click this link to open a page allowing you to choose the information displayed on the Assignments page. You can then use the column headings to determine ascending or descending sort order. See Changing the Assignments Page Display Options for more details.

Use the controls in this section of the Assignments page to archive, delete, modify dates, or cut/copy assignments to different courses. Select one or more assignments, and then click the appropriate command:

° Modify Dates. Opens a page where you can edit the Available, Unavailable, and Due dates for the selected assignment(s). For some assignment types, you can also determine the display of assignment details, scores, and feedback. See Modifying Dates for more details.

° Cut. Removes the selected assignments from the course and copies them to the CengageNOWv2 Clipboard.

° Copy. Places a copy of the selected assignments onto the CengageNOWv2 Clipboard.

° Delete. Permanently removes the selected assignment(s) from your course without copying them to the system clipboard. Before deleting, consider archiving assignments; archiving removes the assignment from your Assignments page, however, it will remain available for later use.

° Archive. Removes the selected assignments from the course and moves them to the Archived Materials page, where you can access them for later use or return them to the Assignments page list. See Archiving Courses and Assignments for more details on how to manage and retrieve archived items.

° Paste. Inserts the assignments currently on the CengageNOWv2 Clipboard onto the assignment list for the selected course.
