Add custom instructions
Starting v25.9.0.0, super users can now add custom sub-header instructions to specific course fields (such as Course Title and Course Description) directly within course forms. This feature provides tailored guidance for different course types and allows you to override default Field Bank instructions as needed.
When custom instructions are added, the system will prioritize them. If no custom instructions are provided, the system will fall back to Field Bank instructions or display no text.
To add a custom instruction:
Open the Course Form for the desired course.
Locate the field where you want to add instructions, for example: Course Title, Course Number, Course Description, Credit Areas.
Click the pen icon to edit the field.
In the Instructions/Supporting Text entry box, type your custom instructions.
These instructions will appear as sub-headers for the selected field.
If Field Bank instructions exist, your custom instructions will override them.
Select Show in Details if you want the instructions to appear in detail views.
Click Done Editing to save your changes.
