System Availability versus Display Options

About System Availability and Display Options

All of the tools and actions in the Blackboard Content System may be made available or unavailable system-wide. Administrators also control which users see the tool and the appearance of the tool (such as font and color).

Manage System Availability and Display Options

System availability of a tool is controlled from the tool link in the Content System area on the Administrator Panel. Administrators using the Blackboard Community System may make tools available to everyone on the system or only to users with specific Institution Roles. The Display Options page allows Administrators to control whether a tool appears on the Content Collection Menu. Administrators may also customize the appearance of a tool on the menu. The following table explains these concepts
