After a folder has student completion rules applied to it, any descendant material or folders can’t have release conditions applied to them. This means:
-
The parent folder can have release conditions, but any materials or folders that follow the hierarchy can’t have release conditions.
-
If a material or folder has release conditions, none of the parent folders or folders that precede it in the hierarchy can have student completion rules.
There are restrictions when setting release conditions, depending on whether the parent or grandparent folders in the hierarchy have release conditions. The conditional release feature uses the Individually Assign functionality to assign students to folders or materials. This means that when a folder is assigned to a student, all contents of that folder are also assigned to that student. Because of this, the following release condition rules are applied:
-
If a folder has release conditions, you can’t set release conditions for any of its children and grandchildren materials and folders.
-
If a material or folder has release conditions, you can’t set release conditions to any of its parent and grandparent folders.
-
A material can have release conditions as long as it does not break the previous two rules.
