Features can be configured for groups on an individual level. EthosCE sets defaults, that may be changed at anytime for individual groups.

This section is for advanced users only. These steps are optional and not required to configure the group. By default, EthosCE automatically sets the features for optimal usability.

Enable a Feature:

  1. Navigate to the learning group.

  2. Under the ADMIN section of the left sidebar, click "Features" link.

  3. For each feature to include within the group, click the dropdown and set it to “Enabled.”

  4. For each feature to exclude within the group, click the dropdown and set it to “Disabled.”

  5. Click “Save for ____ Group.” 

  6. Click on the View tab to view the learning group.

While, selecting "Save for _____ Group" will save the settings for only the current group, clicking "Reset to defaults" will remove any settings previously changed, and reset them to the default values.
