You can now publish and set courses to ‘Open for application’ in our new collection tool, in preparation for the 2018 cycle. You will need to do this before Tuesday 9 May if you wish them to be visible to applicants when the search tool opens.
How to publish courses
How to use the bulk management functionality to update the publication status of your courses:
- From ‘My dashboard’, go the ‘Course management’ section of the collection tool (you will only be able to access this section if you have course management permissions).
- Click into the bulk actions drop-down list in the top left corner of your screen, selecting ‘Publish’.
- Select the courses you want to publish, then click the ‘Review’ button in the top left corner of your screen.
- Click ‘Continue’, then the ‘Update courses’ button to confirm the action.
- Publication status published/not published buttons will appear for each of your listed course options. Click the ‘Published’ button for each course option you want to publish, and click the ‘Save’ button to confirm.
How to update the publication status of an individual course:
- In the ‘Course management’ section of the collection tool, select the course you want to update by clicking the ‘View’ button beside it.
- Scroll down the page to where the outcome qualifications are listed. (If none are listed, you first need to click the ‘Add outcome qualification’ button, and add a qualification from the drop-down list that will be displayed.)
- Click the red cross symbol beside the relevant qualification outcome to expand its information, and scroll down the page to your listed course options.
- Click into the bulk actions drop-down list displayed on the right-hand side of your screen, and click the ‘Go’ button.
- Publication status published/not published buttons will appear for each of your listed course options. Click the ‘Published’ button for each course option you want to publish, and click the ‘Save’ button to confirm.
Please note: all mandatory fields must be completed before you can publish a course, e.g. qualification requirements, and search subjects terms.
