How to enable content scheduling?

This article covers how to release course content over a period of time.

Content Scheduling, which is also called Content Dripping is a way to release your course material at different intervals rather than releasing them all at once. If you want a particular chapter or multiple chapters to release on a fixed date, or after a certain period, you can use the feature "enable content scheduling". 

Step 1: Go to your Graphy dashboard and click the products icon from the left navigation.

Step 2: Now select Courses.

Step 3: Click on the Course Builder icon of the particular course. 

Step 4: Click on 'Set rules'.

Step 5: Enable the toggle beside content scheduling. 

Step 6: There are two types of content scheduling options-

• Fixed Dates

•  Enrolment wise

1. Fixed date-

The course item will be locked until the given date and will be unlocked on the specified date. It is independent of the learner's enrolment date. Example: If you set up a date, say 5th Aug, the learners would get access to the course on 5th Aug, irrespective of their enrolment date.
However, if the learner has enrolled on 3rd Aug, then it will be shown locked with a text specifying "This item will be accessible on 2019/05/08, 10:00:00 AM".  

Step 7: After choosing fixed date-wise, select the date and also choose when the access should be revoked. Click on 'Save' to save the changes. Do the same for all the chapter items.

2. Enrolment wise-

Learners will only be able to access the course content after a pre-defined period of days from the date of enrolment. Until then, the course item will be locked.
Example: If you set up a window of 3 days, then a student enrolling for the course on 5th Aug will get its access on 8th Aug. In 3 days, until the content becomes live, it will be shown locked with a text specifying "This item will be accessible on 2019/08/08, 10:00:00 AM".  

•  After choosing enrolment date-wise, you will see '0 days' mentioned by default. This option will be present in every chapter as well as sub-chapters. It means the chapter will be visible to the learners immediately after they sign up for the course. 
• Click on it and set the date when the chapter will be available from the enrollment date.
• You can also limit the access of the chapter item by setting the days (from the access date) after which the access will be revoked.

Change Content Scheduling Type:

Even after you have chosen a Content Scheduling Type, you have the option to change it back.
Example: If you have selected Fixed Dates, but later want to change it to "Enrolment Type". You need to click on Fixed Dates. 

The options window will reopen. You need to make your choice & repeat the same process as mentioned above.
