Adding a Property

You click this button on the Store User Properties for Lesson screen to add a new user property to be stored along with other lesson data.

 

 

Note: This is a developer-level feature that will be disabled for those users who don't own a developer version of TBK Tracker.

 

This feature is only relevant if you are deploying to ToolBook.

 

TBK Tracker prompts you for each piece of information in turn.

 

1. You first enter the name of the property. This must be a valid ToolBook user property name, meaning that it cannot have spaces or special characters like asterisks. TBK Tracker will remove any illegal characters when you click the OK button. Be sure that your lessons book sets this property in some way before exiting.

2. You are next prompted to enter the "level" of the user property. In most cases, you will leave this blank, since the default is a user property of the book. However, if you need to save a user property of another object, you can enter it. Just be sure that it is a valid ToolBook object reference. For example, you could put button "xyz" of page "testPage" of background "george" if you desired.

By default, the new user property is set to be restored each time a student enters the lesson. If you do not want to restore the value, uncheck the box in the Property Name column.
