Edit Section Data Access

On the Edit Section Data Access screen, you can control who can see each individual piece of information that describes this course section.

This Help section answers the following questions:

 

What are course privacy settings?

CNAV includes a detailed privacy system that allows you to carefully control who sees each item of information about your courses. (This is very much like the Privacy Settings function that lets you control who can see your photo, campus address, campus phone, home address, home phone, etc.)

You can set section-level course privacy preferences individually for each of the user realms defined for your institution.

 

How do I set my privacy settings?

For each item of data, listed in the first column, toggle display On or Off for each of the viewer groups listed at the top of this table. After setting all items, click Submit. If you change your mind about the changes you have entered, you can Reset the form to return to the previously logged course privacy settings. You can also click Set to Defaults to return to the CNAV default course privacy settings selected by your institution.

 

What is a data lock?

You will note that for some items of data, you are not given an option to turn display off. For example, you cannot turn Off display of any section-level course information to system administrators. These "data locks" settings are determined by the CNAV system administrator at your institution. If you are not comfortable with these settings, you need to contact your institution's policy administrator.

 

What are those gray bars for?

At some institutions, the number of data items is quite large. As you scroll down the list of privacy settings, you will note that the user realm names scroll off the top of the screen. To save screen space, we opted not to "freeze" those titles in place. Instead, we've provided a small gray bar to the right of each set of On/Off toggle switches. To see which user realm the current setting applies to, simply mouse over that gray bar.

 

Why are the data items hyperlinked?

The number and types of data items that CNAV maintains about each section-level course description are selected by your institution. Instead of providing general help that may or may not list all the data items contained at your CNAV institution, we opted to provide pop-out help for each data item. When you click on the name of any data item listed in the first column of the privacy settings table, CNAV displays a short description of what that data item is.
