After creating an event monitoring rule you may wish to duplicate it, creating a separate version of the rule but with all of the same settings. This is useful if you want to have similar rules but with slight changes.
From the site
As a Site Administrator you can duplicate event monitoring rules at the site level by following these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Server > Event monitoring rules.
- Click the icon of two pieces of paper (
) next to the rule you wish to duplicate.
Your duplicated rule will then appear in the list and you can make any required changes.
From a course
As a Trainer you can duplicate any monitoring rules (including site rules), so that you can edit them to suit your course context.
- Go to the course in which you wish to duplicate the rule.
- From the Administration block go to Course administration > Reports > Event monitoring rules.
- Click the icon of two pieces of paper (
) next to the rule you wish to duplicate.
Your duplicated rule will then appear in the list and you can make any required changes.
