The main parts composing this class creation form are:

1. Title: The title of the class
2. Body: The description of the class, that will be displayed on its home page. Opigno offers the CKEditor that offers nice WYSIWYG capabilities.
3. Certificate settings: in this part you can define if the class will automatic award certificates to the successful students (a student is considered successful to a class if he is successful to all the courses composing the class). To do that, you will need to have previously created a certificate template (see the dedicated part in this document for more details. Then, click on "Manual" to open the section and select the certificate template you have created. You can also use the pre-defined Opigno templates.

   

4. Courses: Here you can choose one or more (generally at least two) courses that will compose the class.
5. Expiration: You can define an expiration date for the class. After this date the class won't be available, that means it will be hidden in the training catalogue and members won't be able to enter into the class again, neither the courses composing it (except if they are members of another valid class contains some similar courses, or if they are direct members of courses). If you want your class never expires, just leave this field empty.
6. Group visibility: you can choose to have either public, private, or semi-public class. Public class will be displayed in the "Training catalogue" with worldwide visibility (for example for demo classes). Semi-public classes will only be displayed to authenticated users. Private classes are not displayed inside the training catalogue and can be accessed only after being subscribed by a class manager or a platform administrator. Note that for semi-public classes you are offered two additional options, to define if the class requires a validation (if not users will be able to auto-register) and if they have to be hidden from the course catalogue.

   

   Note: In case you have public classes or not, in order to display or hide the course catalogue button for anonymous users, you must go to "Administration > Appearance > Manage display settings" and check "Show menu for anonymous users" (at the bottom, under "Menu settings")

7. Image: you will be able to upload an image for the class. This image will be displayed inside the class' block in training catalogue and "my trainings" interfaces. If no image is loaded, a defaut image will be used.
