You can also customize individual activity availability dates from their create and edit screens. These settings are available for Org, Master and Subject Sites.

You will be able to view the following information for each activity:

  • Type (e.g. content, assignment, discussion)
  • Name
  • Due Date
  • Start Date
  • End Date
  • Days Available
  • Start/End Dates in Calendar
