<p>The studyplan editor has a number of advanced features that are available under the
<spanclass="text-danger"role="button"><iclass="fa fa-cog"></i>Advanced</span> link. (Top-right on the screen in the editor view</p>
<p>These features are helpful to the administrator, but can be dangerous if abused.</p>
<h3>Course manipulation</h3>
<p><b>Cascade cohort sync</b> can be used to manually enrol cohorts and users linked to the study plan into the courses that are in the studyplan.
If you do not have automatic cascading enabled, you must use this button to do it manually</p>
<p>It will create a cohort-sync enrolment to all courses in the studyplan for each cohort you have linked here.
It can also automatically remove those enrolments when a cohort is unlinked from a studyplan.</br>
Individually linked students can also be cascaded down to the courses (if the feature is enabled). In those cases a manual enrolment is created for the users
in each of the studyplan's courses. Those enrolments will never be automatically removed, since that might deprive a student of study content.
</p>
<p><b>Force scales</b> Only useful in <i>Manual</i> aggregation mode. In those cases you may want to enforce a specific scale to all selected gradables in
the studyplan. This can save time manually updating all the gradables used in the studyplan to a standerdized grade scale. This tool allows you to do so.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>Backup and restore</h3>
<p>Using the <b>Backup studyplan</b> you can backup an entire studyplan into a .json file.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Use <b>restore studylines from backup</b> to import the content (study lines and courses) from a studyplan into the current study plan</p>
Under <b>Course display name</b> you can select if you want to use <i>shortname</i>, <i>ID field</i> or any other previously configured custom course field</p>
<p>The studyplan plugin is category context aware - meaning that every studyplan is placed in a context. And users can have rights to view and/or edit
studyplans within a specific context. </p>
<p>To edit a studyplan in a specific context, you can use one or two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the category you want to. If you have studyplan view or edit rights (Right <i>local/treestudyplan:editstudyplan</i>), you will find a link <b>Manage study plans</b> in that category's menu. </li>
<li>Go to <b>manage study plans</b> in the primary navigation, and select the context you need in the drop down menu in the top left. This drop down menu will
only show the category contexts you have studyplan management access to (Right <i>local/treestudyplan:editstudyplan</i>) </li>
</ol>
<p>The list in the top left of the management page, also shows you how many study plans there are in the contexts listed. Since subcategories are also listed, this can be
<p> Viewing the studyplans of students is also a right that is context-aware. (Right <i>local/treestudyplan:viewuserreports</i>)</p>
<p> Both methods outlined above also work for viewing student studyplans. The main difference is that the drop-down list on the top-left of the page
only shows the categories that actually have studyplans that are viewable for the current user. (Which means that the user can not only see the study plan
itself, but also the results of specific users). It is recommended to give this right to all teachers in a specific category, unless you have specific reasons
why teachers might not be allowed to see all results of the students.
<p>Using the block <i>My Studyplan</i> you can show students the studyplans they are enrolled in on the dashboard page. This may be useful for navigation.</p>
<p>This block shows <i>teachers</i> another view - namely all studyplans they are currently teaching courses in (orderd in tabs). For teachers, this view will often take a
few seconds to load, especialy if they teach in multiple study plans, since the result statistics for each course are collected each time</p>
<p>In spite of the loading time, this view can be beneficial to teachers, since it can easily show them the statistics for the courses they are teaching</p>
<aid="rights"><h2>Roles and permissions</h2></a>
<p>For the studyplan the following permissions are defined:</p>
<table>

</table>
<p>While the studyplan management rights are added by default to the <b>manager</b> role, the right to just view the studyplans for teachers and students is not
added to any default role. You should make a separate role for faculty that is allowed to view the study plans (or integrate it in an existing role),
grant the roght <i>local/treestudyplan:viewuserreports</i> to that role, and assign the role to all users that should have this right in a given context.</p>
