Edit sections

When you created your Leganto list, you selected a particular template – default, weeks, sections or modules. However, it's possible to modify the way your list is organised.

See the tabs below to learn how to add/delete, copy, move and hide sections.

• Add or delete
• Copy
• Move
• Hide

To add a new section:

1. Click Add, then choose Section from the drop-down menu.\ You will be prompted to enter a title for the section.
2. When you have added the title, click Add.

You can enter a description for the section and an optional start and end date. If you would like to make this section visible for a limited period, click the Display section during these dates only box.

To delete a section:

1. Click Section menu.
2. Click Delete section.

It is possible to copy a section from one list and add it to another, or, to copy a section to the same list:

1. Click Section menu then select Copy section.
2. Rename the section as required.
3. From Copy into list on the pop up, select This list or choose one of your other lists from the drop-down menu.

Sections can be collapsed or expanded. To move sections, they must first be collapsed. If they are not collapsed, use the Manage sections toggle to collapse them. To rearrange your sections:

• Use the Drag button .
• Tick the box next to the section you want to move and use the Move up or Move down arrows .

To release content in your list on a specific date, you can set a start date for the section to become visible. For example, if you have only completed your list up to Week 4, you can hide the sections you are still working on.

To hide a section:

1. Go to the Section menu and click Edit section.
2. Select Start date and choose the relevant date from the calendar pop up – the end date is optional.
3. Tick Display section during these dates only.
4. Click Save.

Use tags and notes

Use tags to indicate whether items on your list are mandatory/required or optional/recommended. Tags with the mortarboard icon are visible to students.

Notes can be used to direct students to a particular chapter or set of pages. Notes can also be used to add context to a particular item.

• Add your note in the Public note field, or
• Click Add tag, select either Mandatory/Required or Optional/Recommended, then click Save.

Prescribed resources

Apply the  Prescribed tag to resources that are essential to student learning and are directly aligned with your course learning outcomes. This tag is only visible to you and the Library staff, and it ensures the Library has an accurate picture of essential course resources.

Add or remove collaborators

When you need additional people to work on the list with you, add them as collaborators.
