\label{Course_User_Parameter}

To set content parameters for a selected user, it is recommended that you use the Parameter Helper.  However, if you need to use the Table Mode, then do the following:

\begin{itemize}

\item Select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{parm}
\textbf{Modify parameter settings (due dates, etc) for resources and the course
} on the Main Menu.
\item On the \textbf{Parameter Manager} screen select
\item Select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{edit-copy}
\textbf{Edit Resource Parameters - Table Mode}.
\item At the \textbf{Table Mode} screen 
select the \textbf{Parameter Level} from the pull down menu. 
(See discussion of parameter levels in Table Mode section \ref{Table_Mode}.)
\item Screen select the enclosing map or folder 
from the pull down menu. If you choose 
course level you will skip this step.
\item In the section headlined \textbf{User Specification (optional)}, type the
  username or id of the desired user. If you do not 
know the username or id, then click the \underbar{Select User} link.
\item Click \fbox{Update Parameter Display}.

\item For \textbf{Course Level} and \textbf{Map Level} parameters: 

\begin{itemize}
\item At the default value column, 
click on the link for the 
parameter setting you want to assign (note that parameters without assigned values are represented by \underbar{\includegraphics[width=0.015\paperwidth]{editmap}}). A new window will open.
\item Update the selected parameter.
\item Click \underbar{Save}.
\end{itemize}

The default value will now reflect the new parameter setting for the selected 
user. \textbf{Parameter in Effect} will reflect the parameter settings for all other
users in the course. 

Repeat the previous three steps as necessary.


\item For \textbf{Resource Level}:

\begin{itemize}

\item Within the \textbf{User \_\_\_\_ at Domain \_\_\_\_} column, 
click on the link for the 
parameter setting you want to assign (note that parameters without assigned values are represented by \underbar{\includegraphics[width=0.015\paperwidth]{editmap}}). A new window will open.
\item Update the selected parameter.
\item Click \underbar{Save}.
\end{itemize}

The \textbf{Parameter in Effect} column reflects the parameter setting that is in effect
for the selected user. The last column reflects the value for your username
and does incorporate complete cascading within a problem for your username. 

Repeat the previous three steps as necessary.


\end{itemize}

The parameters priorities are shown lowest to highest, left to right in the 
tables.
