The Card View Dashboard displays course cards for all your favorite courses. Course Cards can help you organize your courses by adding a nickname or customizing the color, which is synced with the color shown for the course in the Calendar.
Create Nickname
If one of your courses includes a long or confusing name, you can create a nickname for your course.
Course nicknames appear in the Dashboard, Course Navigation Menu, course breadcrumbs, and notification emails.
A course nickname does not affect the course name at the account or course level; it only changes the name of the course for the individual user who created the nickname.
If you need to know the original name of the course, you can hover over the nickname and the original name will appear. Additionally, the course code is not affected and always displays on the course card for course reference.
Manage Nickname
To add a nickname, click the More Options icon [1], then type the name in the Nickname field [2]. Click the Apply button [3].
To remove a nickname, open the card options and remove the nickname. The Nickname field will display the original name of the course.
Change Course Color
Course Cards can help you organize your courses by customizing the color, which is synced with the color shown for the course in the Calendar. To change the color, click the card Settings icon [1], then select a new color. The check mark indicates the selected color [2], and the hex color code displays in the text field [3]. If you want to use a color not shown in the window, you can enter the color's hex code directly in in the text field. The hex field will display a warning icon if the hex code is not valid. Additionally, any variation of white is not accepted as a course color.
Click the Apply button [4].
Note: If you change the color for a course in the Calendar, the color also updates in the Dashboard.
Move Course Cards
You can also move a course card to another location in the Dashboard or remove a card from the Dashboard. Click the Options menu [1] and select the Move tab [2]. Depending on the placement of the existing card, you can move the card to the top of the Dashboard, ahead or behind a specific card, or to the bottom of the Dashboard [3].
Once a dashboard card has been reordered, new courses added to the dashboard always display at the end of all existing courses.
To remove the course card from the Dashboard, click the Unfavorite option [4].
Note: The Unfavorite option only displays if you previously selected favorite courses.
Drag and Drop Course Cards
You can also manually drag and drop a course card to another location in the Dashboard. Click on a course card and drag it to the desired location.
